Spring Training was supposed to kick off earlier this month, but the MLB lockout isn’t over. While the Owners and the Players Union are still in meetings, many Venezuelan fans of the best baseball in the world are wondering what the Creole figures of the MLB are doing.

Ronald Acuna Jr.

Star outfielder for the Atlanta Braves, suffered an ACL injury midway through the 2021 season. Acuña was training at the beginning of the year in Barquisimeto, continuing with the rehabilitation of his foot. Now Acuña is in Los Angeles, the city where he underwent surgery; following by leaps and bounds the recovery from the injury to return with everything to the 2022 season.

Salvador Perez

Don’t worry, he still hasn’t changed his profession, and although he has been seen practicing a new hobby, the Venezuelan catcher for the Kansas City Royals, remains in training awaiting the start of Spring Training, Let us remember that pitchers and catchers were the first to appear in the fields of Florida. Salvador has been seen running and doing a lot of speed drills on football fields in Miami, which means that the Venezuelan will be out to steal a lot of pads in the coming season.

Gleyber Torres

The Venezuelan will be in charge of second base for the New York Yankees this year. 2021 was not a good season for Torres at shortstop. Recently, he has posted on his social networks, videos swinging and catching groundballs with Colombian third baseman Gio Urshela. Forecast pages in the United States assure that this season will be the resurgence of the Venezuelan baseball player.

Miguel Cabrera

The “Elder Tiger” comes from getting su Entry into the Major League 500 career home run club, and the goal this year is to reach 3,000 hits. And he is already preparing himself to achieve that achievement. The first baseman of the Detroit Tigers has shared videos in the batting cage with his compatriot Miguel Rojas on his networks. That swing looks devastating to pulverize the 13 singles that Cabrera needs for a new milestone.

Edward Rodriguez

After signing with his new team the Detroit Tigers, E-Rod is letting go of his arm to land the top spot in the rotation. On his Instagram account, he has shared videos performing his throwing mechanics. The Venezuelan agreed for five years and $77 million to shield a rotation with very young arms.

MLB considers February 28 to be the latest date the two sides can reach an agreement without delaying opening day.
