Venezuelan Winter League

Miguel Rojas is beloved by Tiburones de La Guaira fans in his native Venezuela. He was playing winter ball for them long before anybody took him seriously as a potential major leaguer. He owns a .266/.320/.311 slash line in 296 games over parts of nine seasons.
But Major League Baseball suspended its Winter League Agreement with the Venezuelan league (LVBP) last year due to the country’s turbulent political environment. That forbade all MLB/MiLB affiliated players from participating until the two sides remedied the situation in late December.
Rojas’ flight landed Monday night and he is expected to be active for La Guaira later this week to contribute to their playoff run.
