About four years ago he defected from Cuba, seeking a career in the Major League. Then he established his residency in Haiti. Last year he signed a nine-year contract with the Cubs. Next stop: luxury cars customized to the teeth.
OK, let’s play a game. Name three sportsmen that own a Mercedes and got it customized in a way you actually like it.

3, 2, 1 and go...

Pittsburgh Pirates’s starting pitcher Francisco Liriano y Casillas is a Mercedes-Benz S63 driver. He took the car over at Mc Customs Miami-based auto shop and got it updated. The luxury saloon is now sitting on Forgiato wheels and comes with blacked out accents and custom finished Red Brake Calipers.

LA Dodgers’ Erisbel Arruebarrena had one of his cars sent straight to the shop just after he bought it. It’s a beautiful white Mercedes-Benz S550 who received a bit of custom-wisdom from Alexa Verga’s shop, the Auto Firm. Not a big deal, however, just a new pair of 22 inches Avorza AV8 socks.

Last, but not least, Baltimore Orioles’ Nelson Cruz. The three-times Major League Baseball All-Star Gamer is also a S63 driver. This one got new wheels and a little bit of refresh on the interior.

Stop. How many have you got? Three? Well, we have four.

He might be 19, but Soler is a big fellow, literally. At 6 feet 4 inches (1.93) height and 215 pounds (98kg) it’s only normal he’d choose one of the bigger breeds on Mercedes’ range. The full-size SUV delivers power and performance while keeping things in the well accustomed luxurious level. And man we like how that 4.7-liter biturbo V8 puppy sounds...

Right, forgive our little moment there. Since there’s not a lot the beautiful luxury SUV doesn’t have we have to admit we were over staking the custom part earlier. In fact, there was not much work done with this one, apart from the color keyed, calipers painted red and some new pair of Avorza AV10 Forged Wheels.
