The former murder suspect and right-handed pitcher Alfredo Simon of the Baltimore Orioles is expected to be in the United States, Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Simon had previously been suspected for the murder of 25-year-old Michel Castillo. Simon was accused of firing celebratory shoots into the air on New Years Eve, a practice not uncommon in the Dominican Republic.
The right-hander is not absolutely absolved from the crime, but Zrebiec says that he has been able to secure a Visa which allows him to travel to the United States. Zrebiec does not know when Simon will be available, but he'll begin a throwing program in preparation for the 2011 season.
