Mets shortstop and bat flipper extraordinaire Asdrubal Cabrera is looking to stay busy this winter. Back in his home country of Venezuela during the offseason, Asdrubal will be joining one of the local teams that plays in the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League, the Leones del Caracas.
The Venezuelan Professional Baseball League starts up in early October and goes all the way through the end of December with the playoffs starting in January. It’s a pretty grueling league that consists of only eight teams that play dozens of games against each other.
