Cuban Players Yera and Santos to Rejoin Olmecas de Tabasco

Cuban baseball standouts Roel Santos and Yoennis Yera are focusing their aspirations on returning to the Liga Mexicana de Béisbol with the Olmecas de Tabasco ahead of the 2026 season.

According to official team sources, left-handed pitcher Yera — one of the club’s most reliable arms in recent campaigns — will rejoin Tabasco for his fifth season with the southern-based organization. Meanwhile, veteran outfielder Santos is set to embark on his seventh stint with the team.

A champion of Cuba’s domestic league with the Cocodrilos de Matanzas, Yera has compiled a 19–win record over four previous seasons with Tabasco. He holds a 3.79 earned run average (ERA) and a 1.35 WHIP across 64 appearances, alternating between starting and relief roles. During that span, he has struck out 287 batters, establishing himself as one of the most effective pitchers on the roster.

Santos, a seasoned outfielder, has recorded 413 hits in 305 games with the Olmecas, including 70 doubles, 23 triples, and 24 home runs, underscoring his consistency and offensive contribution.

Backed by distinguished careers across various Caribbean professional circuits, the Cuban players stand out among Tabasco’s reinforcements as the club prepares for the 2026 campaign.
