LVBP teams prepare rosters for upcoming baseball season

Venezuelan Professional Baseball League (LVBP) teams are actively preparing for the upcoming 2026-2027 season with various strategic focuses.

Tiburones de La Guaira is prioritizing roster depth to avoid the setbacks experienced in previous campaigns, such as player absences due to MLB restrictions, injuries, and visa issues. The management is working to secure early permissions for players in the MLB minor league system and independent leagues.

Tigres de Aragua is aiming to integrate several Major League Baseball (MLB) players into their roster. Sports manager Víctor Gárate indicated that the team is in communication with seven active MLB players, including Oswaldo Cabrera, Yorbit Vivasy, and Jesús Rodríguez, hoping for early availability.

In individual performance news, catcher Freddy Fermín has reached a milestone of 20 caught stealing attempts this season. Fermín, who plays for Leones del Caracas in the LVBP, recorded his 20th out by catching José Ramírez stealing.
