With an eye on the upcoming Dominican Professional Baseball League (LIDOM) season, the Leones del Escogido management has begun a restructuring process for their player reserve. The capital city team confirmed the departure of four members of their roster as part of their operational strategy.
The players who have received their release letters are right-handed pitcher Gerlin Rosario, infielders Wander Franco and William Lugo, as well as outfielder Bryan González. These moves respond to the organization’s need to optimize its talent pool before the rookie draft.
