It’s time to get your baseball fix before MLB spring training and the World Baseball Classic arrive on the scene.<\/p>\n
The 2026 Caribbean Series takes place this week in Mexico, featuring five top teams from winter leagues around the region.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 68th edition of the Serie del Caribe already has been mired in controversy. The tournament was originally supposed to be played in Venezuela, but other countries demanded a move due to political upheaval in the wake of the recent U.S. military operation there.<\/p>\n
Guadalajara stepped in to host and Venezuela pulled out of the event in protest. To fill out of the field, two teams from the Mexican Pacific League will participate: champion Charros de Jalisco and runner-up Tomateros de Culiacan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Those two and representatives from Puerto Rico and Panama will be looking to dethrone Dominican League champion Escogido, which beat Jalisco in last year’s final.\u00a0<\/p>\n
