Framber Valdez

Why did you choose to come here?

Well, it was not my choice.

I found out that I could compete in this team and everyone knows that I like to compete, I like to play.

And you know, inspiration and competition is what I try to do all the time on the field.

And I chose this team with the plan of being able to win and reach the World Series.

Well, actually the signing process was slow, I didn't get frustrated, I just waited for the best moment and the best thing for me was to choose this team and I remained calm, working, focused, waiting for the moment to be in a good position and to be in a good division like I am now.

Thank you.

No, it meant a lot to me.

I felt very good, really.

You go down and come to me and tell me, hey, we need you.

We want you to be part of the team.

And that made me feel good.

That made me feel part of the family of the Tigers.

And that motivated me.

Apart from the team, it motivated me more than, hey, it gave me importance.

He came to me and told me what he had to tell me.

He convinced me.

As I always say to Ulises, I don't focus on the division.

I always work to face any team, whether it's the best or the average.

I face any team because I work to face it.
