The Associated Press reported that relief pitcher Luis Ayala was unharmed during an apparent attempted kidnapping by gunmen at his home in northern Mexico. Martin Robles, a spokesman for the state prosecutor's office, said that investigators believed Ayala was the intended victim, and police prevented him from being kidnapped.
According to Robles, neither Ayala nor his family were hurt but the pitcher was found handcuffed at the home. Ayala is 29-39 with a 3.67 ERA in six big league seasons. He pitched last year for Minnesota and Florida, and signed a Minor League contract with the Dodgers this winter. He was currently playing for the Culiacan Tomateros in the Mexican League.
