Happy New Year! As we turn the page on the calendar, it means playoff time in the Caribbean. Arismendy Alcantara is powering Licey in the Dominican Republic, while Christian Villanueva helped lead Obregon to the best record in Mexico. Santurce edged their way into the playoff picture in Puerto Rico with Javier Baez moving around the diamond.
It all culminates in the Caribbean World Series, but for now, take a look at this week’s Down on the Farm Report.
Note: Coverage of the Winter Leagues runs from Sunday to Saturday
