The Caribbean Series 2025 will start on Friday January 31, this traditional competition will be held in the city of Mexicali, Mexico, the representative teams of Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Venezuela will be present as usual, This time with a team from the Far East as a guest, Japan, who will be coached by the Venezuelan Alex Ramirez, who is a true legend in the Asian country, this Japanese team is one of lesser hierarchy compared to the one that won the title in the World Baseball Classic, But they are also players who can give the fight, since baseball in that country is of great level, for its part, the Cardenales de Lara, team that will be representing Venezuela, will be leaving today January 29 to Mexico, with a roster virtually intact, there are few casualties, and to compensate they took some players as reinforcements and thus to cover some shortcomings, since it is not easy to face teams like those of the Dominican Republic, which have players with major league label.

The roster of the red birds that was officially announced yesterday afternoon, is quite interesting and I feel goals, makes them one of the favorites to take the title and to revalidate the crown that Venezuela won in the last series, offensively they look fearsome, only Harold Castro will not be present, They will not be present, only Harold Castro will not be present, but the veteran outfield and infielder, Alexi Amarista, will be a reinforcement, as for the pitching, now they look stronger, and it is here where the management has moved throughout the year, names of great experience, such as Silvino Bracho, Anthony Vizcaya and Jesus Vargas, come to strengthen both the rotation and the relief pitching, With the additions of Vizcaya and Bracho, Venezuela will have a trident of big league pitching, since Arnaldo Hernandez would be in charge of the ninth inning, we can see quality arms from the very fifth inning, if that decision were in my hands, I would place Vizcaya in the fifth, Alex Scherff in the sixth, Mckenna in the seventh, Bracho in the eighth and of course Hernandez in the ninth, in case the starters cannot go beyond the third, we can count on Robinson Hernandez and Jesus Valles, who were of vital importance to the team throughout the season.

En conclusión, veo a los Cardenales bastantes sólidos y con chance real de optar por la copa de esta edición, las claves estarán en lo que puedan hacer sus abridores, porque si llegan en ventaja al quinto capítulo, es muy probable que logren las victorias, porque cuentan en el papel con un relevo hermético, pero amanecerá y veremos, ya que la teoría en el deporte a veces está muy alejada de la realidad, espero que este no sea el caso y que Venezuela pueda celebrar otro título de este clásico caribeño.

As for the offense, the Venezuelan team will maintain its solidity, because despite having lost Harold Castro, they will now have Amarista, who can contribute a lot with the lumber, and who also provides better defense, he can cover shortstop, second base and the gardens, surely during this series he will defend right field, because I do not think they will take away the short field to the rookie Eduardo Garcia, who was a key piece in the title obtained by the Crepusculares.In conclusion, I see the Cardinals quite solid and with a real chance to opt for the cup of this edition, the keys will be in what their starters can do, because if they reach the fifth chapter in advantage, it is very likely to achieve the victories, because they have on paper with a tight relief, but it will dawn and we will see, since the theory in sport is sometimes far from reality, I hope this is not the case and that Venezuela can celebrate another title of this Caribbean classic.
