Padres Coach Detained at Airport | Birmingham News
Description
San Diego Padres catching coordinator Oswaldo Pirela was detained by ICE at El Paso airport early Sunday while flying home to Arizona, sparking concern as he’s been with the team since January and is originally from Venezuela. Though he reportedly didn’t have his work permit on him, his family says he’s holding strong and reassured them he’s okay. The Padres are investigating and offering support, while fans and colleagues rally behind a coach who once played in the minors for the Rangers’ Dominican system — a heartbreaking twist for someone deeply rooted in baseball.
