It was an emotional day for Houston when Astros all-star and unsung icon Mauricio Dubón was officially traded. While the fan base was still in shock over the news, his wife, Daniela Dubón, had a touching reaction.
In a brief interview with a local sports reporter, Daniela shared:
“When he heard that Mauricio was traded, he cried a lot. Not just because of the job, but because of all the memories, the fans, and Houston — which has become our home. I’ve never seen him show such deep emotion before.”
According to Daniela, Mauricio has always been a resilient, hard-working man who rarely shows emotion. But when faced with the prospect of leaving Houston, where he spent some of the most important years of his career, the emotions that had been building up over time suddenly came flooding back.
“He was not just a team player, he was a city player. Every time he was called into the lineup, every game, every time his name was chanted in the stands, it was motivation. Now that he has to leave, I know he is truly heartbroken, and I am heartbroken with him.”
Dubón joined the Astros as a low-key player, but quickly proved his worth with his versatility and relentless fighting spirit. Daniela emphasized:
“Houston gave Mauricio more than just a chance to play. It gave him trust, love, and memories that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. I believe he will continue to bring those values to his new team, but Houston will always be home.”
His wife also revealed that in recent days, Dubón has been texting and calling his teammates and fans to thank them, trying to stay positive despite his heartache.
“We’ve been through a lot together in Houston. He’s always given his all for the team, and now that he’s leaving, he wants to make sure everyone knows that his love and gratitude are real.”
Daniela Dubón’s response immediately sent shockwaves through Astros Nation. Many fans expressed their sympathy:
“Dubón wasn’t just a player, he was the heart of Houston.”
“This story made me realize that baseball isn’t just about skill, it’s about love, family, and faith.”
While the trade was a strategic move for the team, it was clear that both Mauricio and his wife were deeply moved by the process, and this story reminds everyone that behind every MLB player are real people, with feelings and families.
Daniela ended her post with a touching message:
“While he is leaving Houston, he will take with him all the love the community has for him. And we will always remember that Houston is not just where he played, but where we call home.”
With these words, fans witnessed not only a sports transaction, but also felt the love, gratitude and emotion of a family attached to the city and the team.
