Unipol Bologna invited media to a Christmas dinner this week. Grandeslam.net reports afterwards that in contrary to earlier rumors Fortitudo is not going to engage Stefano Desimoni and Alex Sambucci from Italian Baseball League rival Cariparma Parma. The Angels with new manager Orlando Munoz try to retain both players for the 2013 season, having already lost Riccardo Bertagnon and Leonardo Zileri.
