Águilas del Zulia team preparations

Overview

The Águilas del Zulia baseball team has begun preparations for the 2026-27 Venezuelan Professional Baseball League (LVBP) season through player acquisitions and staff appointments.

In August, the team signed Dominican relief pitcher José López, a 27-year-old left-hander with Major League Baseball experience, to address a need for left-handed pitching in the bullpen.

By September, the organization announced its technical staff to support manager Guillermo Quiroz. The coaching group includes bench coach Carlos Maldonado, pitching coach Guillermo “Memo” Larreal, and batting coaches Alex Romero and Néstor Smith. Additional roles were filled for first base, third base, bullpen coordination, quality control, and taxi squad management.

As the league approaches the new season, Águilas del Zulia remains among several Venezuelan teams finalizing technical staff and roster movements as part of broader regional preparations for the 2026-27 season.
