Las Tunas is a baseball team in the Cuban National Series. Based in eastern Las Tunas province, the "Magos," also known as the "Espinosos," were long a perennial last-place team in Group C. In 1992-1993, Las Tunas reached the quarterfinals, but have not been back to the playoffs since. However, since the emergence of superstar Osmani Urrutia in the early 1990s, the "Magos" have been competitive, finishing with winning records in 2005 and 2006.
