Aroldis Chapman watches Cuba in Caribbean Series

Reds closer Aroldis Chapman caught up with his old Cuban teammates on Wednesday at the Caribbean World Series.

MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez found Chapman in the stands during Wednesday night's Cuba-Puerto Rico game.

"I was nearby and I wanted to see the Cuban team. It's been years since I had seen them," Chapman told Sanchez, while sitting a few rows behind Cuba's dugout. "I'm really happy to be here. That was the team that I played with and that brings back a lot of good memories of my days on the national team. I'm watching different guys that I used to play with."

Sanchez tweeted this picture:

Chapman left the Cuban team in 2009 while the team was in the Netherlands. Two Cuban players left the team on Tuesday, shortstop Dainer Moreira and right-hander Vladimir Gutierrez.

Cuba won its first game in this year's Caribbean Series with Chapman in the stands, defeating Puerto Rico 3-2 in 10 innings. One of Chapman's current teammates with the Reds, Puerto Rico's Neftali Soto, was 2 for 3 with an RBI in the game and is hitting .455 (5 for 11) in three games during the series.

The other Reds player in the series, Felix Perez, is 0 for 7 in two games so far this series. Perez, who is from Cuba like Chapman, is playing for Venezuela.
