From the Dominican Republic to Venezuela and even all the way out to Australia, professional baseball leagues around the globe provide Major League Baseball prospects to work on various aspects of their game while returning home to their native country during the offseason. A handful of veteran players also make trips to play in one of these winter leagues and if you look closely through the rosters, you see players like Carlos Zambrano still climbing the mound and former Baltimore Orioles outfielder Alejandro De Aza living the dream.
Many of these leagues are wrapping up play in the coming days, ahead of the highly anticipated Caribbean Series, a tournament of champions among the league winners from Venezuela, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic.
