Karell Paz had recently signed a contract with the Mets, so his income was about to double.
Paz also left Cuba in 2017 to play baseball at a senior level in the province of Ciego de Avila.
He passed through five countries en route to Panama, including Guyana, Brazil and Uruguay, and arrived there about 11 months later. Later he moved to Haiti before finally arriving in the Dominican Republic, where he lived briefly.
His paperwork has been delayed by the COVID-19 outbreak, which has hampered but not stopped his attempts to achieve his goals and reunite with his estranged family.
Paz officially committed to playing for the Mets on March 22, bringing his goals one step closer to accomplishment. It was even better since Paz was able to sign while his father was present at the signing ceremony.
