After an entertaining and unexpected survey, MLB <\/span>announced<\/span><\/a> its two dream teams of the decade that has just ended, based on the vote of 73 specialists who chose the best by positions and formed a pitching staff with five starters and a couple of relievers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The closer of the New York Yankees, Aroldis Chapman, was the only Cuban selected in the teams, which also include six Dominicans, two Venezuelans and a Puerto Rican.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Holguin player, Reliever of the Year in 2019, entered the first squad next to the portentous Craig Kimbrel, only one vote ahead of Kenley Jansen, from Curacao, who stayed for the second squad with Wade Davis, another of the very prominent relievers of the decade.<\/span><\/p>\n

These stars ruled the decade. <\/p>\n
