Your 2015 VSL Cubs!

The Venezuelan Summer League (VSL) begins play tomorrow (Monday 5/18),  and the Cubs are one of only four MLB organizations fielding a team in the VSL this year. 

The league had to be re-worked at the last minute after the Mariners suddenly and unexpectedly moved their VSL affiliate (VSL Mariners) to the Dominican Summer League (DSL) earlier this year (the affiliate will play in the DSL as DSL Mariners #2).   

When the Cubs moved their second DSL:affiliate (DSL Cubs #2) to the VSL in 2013, the VSL became a five-team league at that time, resulting in a schedule where each of the five teams would play each of the other four VSL teams once and then get a bye on the 5th day.
