Burgos
He reiterated his innocence in a Sept. 30 car crash that killed two women, Josefina Minaya Martinez, 38, and Angely Fana, 29.
"I was not driving the Hummer when the accident occurred," he told Canal 37, a local TV station. "People here are jealous and they want to get me in trouble."
He declined further comment about the case and about unrelated charges filed earlier this year after he allegedly threw his girlfriend to the ground.
"I don't want to talk about that," he said. "My lawyers have already resolved it."
The 24-year-old reliever said he would not return to his native town of Nagua because he fears for his life.
"When I was in jail, my family received death threats on several occasions," he said.
Burgos said he plans to resume training at the Mets' camp in Boca Chica to prepare for winter baseball games in the Caribbean country.
Burgos still has to report to a magistrate every two weeks until a court date is set and is prohibited from leaving the country without permission from an appeals court. He is accused of abandoning the victims and fleeing, charges that can carry six months to two years in prison.
