Pittsburgh Pirates in Winter Ball During the 2024-25 Offseason

The World Series wrapped up this week, and with it went the 2024 Major League Baseball season. Baseball, however, is a year-round event.

The MLB offseason will run for the next three and a half months, with the final six weeks seeing players ramping up to Spring Training. Some players will never stop playing. They will go to a winter league and continue getting work during the offseason.

There are several offseason leagues, highlighted by the Arizona Fall League, which I’ve been covering on Pirates Prospects this offseason. There are four winter leagues in the Caribbean over the offseason: LIDOM (Dominican Republic), LVBP (Venezuela), LMP (Mexico), and LBPRC (Puerto Rico).
