Marlins' Adeiny Hechavarria: Misses Friday's workout due to court date

Hechavarria missed Friday's team workout to give testimony in the trial of agent Bart Hernandez and trainer Julio Estrada, charged with running a smuggling ring for Cuban ballplayers, the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

Jose Abreu and Leonys Martin are among the other players brought through Mexico by the duo, who then got a lucrative cut of any major league contract signed by the players. Hechavarria, who fled Cuba in 2009 and initially lied to federal investigators when questioned in 2012, received immunity from prosecution for his testimony, and there's no indication that he'll face discipline from the Marlins or the league. Hechavarria may also be absent from camp Tuesday, when the trial resumes.
