(Central News Agency reporter Hsieh Ching-wen, Taipei, 5th) The CTBC Fubon Guardians team today issued a press release stating that foreign hitter Luis Liberato requested to leave the team due to personal family reasons. After communication between both parties and careful evaluation, the team agreed to terminate the contract early, out of respect for the player's personal considerations.
The Guardians' press release stated that after joining the team this season, Liberato not only contributed to the team's outfield defense and batting lineup but also became a cheerful presence in the locker room with his energetic attitude and amiability. However, Liberato has recently been distressed by a sudden family situation, requiring him to return to accompany and care for his family. After weighing his professional career and family responsibilities, he proposed to the team his decision to leave and return home.
After discussions with Liberato, the Guardians team respected the player's personal decision and agreed to terminate the contract early. The team cancelled Liberato's registration on the 5th, and Liberato is also expected to fly back to his home country today to handle family affairs. The Guardians team thanks Liberato for his contributions to the team during this period.
Due to Liberato's early voluntary departure, the Guardians team, in addition to its existing reserve foreign players, is continuously observing and evaluating new foreign players and will seek suitable candidates to strengthen the team.
Liberato left a record of 19 appearances in the CPBL first team, with a total of 16 hits in 70 at-bats, no home runs, one stolen base, and a batting average of .229. (Edited by Chen Ren-hua) 1150505
