NEW BRITAIN—One day after Cinco de Mayo, it was announced that

Jovan Rosa of the New Britain Bees has had his contract purchased by Tabasco of the Mexican League. The 31-year-old infielder, who graduated from East Hartford High School in 2005, was drafted out of Florida Gateway College by the Chicago Cubs in the 2006 MLB Amateur Draft. After spending four seasons with the Cubs organization, Rosa made his Atlantic League debut in 2015 by splitting time between the Bridgeport Bluefish and Southern Maryland Blue Crabs. He joined the Bees the following season, playing in all 140 games and collecting a .283 batting average with 13 home runs, 31 doubles, 59 RBI and 56 runs scored.
