That country is crazy. My company at the time had a subdivision that would distribute payroll, via helicopter, through either holes in roofs or into secure compounds because there are so many banditos over there. It’s like profession.

Even if they did try and move, their family members may not want to go.

What is surprising, to me, is that once these guys get money that they don’t get the hell out there, or move to a “nice” area or hire guards or something.

I was reading the Washington Post article and they mentioned past players who dealt with incidents of kidnapping that I didn’t remember.

“Ramos is believed to be the most high-profile baseball player kidnapped in Venezuela, but the rash of abductions has touched the baseball world there before. In 2008, the brother of Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Henry Blanco was kidnapped and killed, his body found a day after he was taken. In 2009, Texas Rangers catcher Yorvit Torrealba paid a ransom to get his son back, and pitcher Victor Zambrano’s mother was rescued in a raid.”

BTW The site’s looking real nice.

It all turned out reasonably well. Here is the link:

Sorry to say it but they should not return to their home countries. Pretty harsh but true. I pray this turns out well for him and his family.
