On Wednesday night, as the season ended in Pittsburgh, a new season began down in the Caribbean. You can read the winter league preview here, with a look at all the confirmed winter league players from the Pirates' system. Venezuela kicked off the action with a full schedule on the first day. Below is a recap of the first two days from that league.
The league in Mexico begins tonight, though it's only one game and neither team has any players from the Pirates' system. The first games of note in Mexico will take place tomorrow, as Venados de Mazatlan has Harold Ramirez, Luis Heredia, Carlos Munoz and Felipe Gonzalez on the roster.
