David Ortiz accuses Emilio Bonifacio of breaching contract for Titanes del Caribe Series

Santo Domingo.- Former MLB star David Ortiz has accused Licey captain Emilio Bonifacio of violating a signed agreement after receiving $40,000 to participate in the Titanes del Caribe Series but failing to attend.

Ortiz stated that Bonifacio’s absence caused financial losses and diminished the event’s impact, as the highly anticipated matchups between the Tigres del Licey and Águilas Cibaeñas took place in New York and Puerto Rico. He hinted at potential legal action against Licey for non-compliance, expressing frustration over the lack of commitment in an interview with Alofoke Radio Show.

The Hall of Famer emphasized that the event’s success relied on key players, and Licey’s decision not to travel to Puerto Rico disrupted logistics and audience expectations. He suggested that Bonifacio’s actions could have repercussions for the team in future events. The Titanes del Caribe Series remains a major attraction for Dominican winter baseball fans, bringing the iconic rivalry to an international stage.
