Cibao Eagles Strengthen Their Roster for the Round Robin<\/h2>\n\n\nSanto Domingo \u2013 Gian Guzm\u00e1n, Operations Manager of Baseball for the \u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as, has detailed the team’s strategies after the Re-entry Draft of the Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League (LIDOM). The main focus has been to strengthen the team for the Round Robin, especially in the infield and pitching.\n\nThe team’s first selection was infielder Cristhian Adames, a strategic decision to reinforce the infield area. Guzm\u00e1n explained that this choice responds to the need to cover the temporary absence of Gerardo Perdomo, who will not be available at the beginning of the Round Robin.\n\n\n

“We understand that Cristhian Adames is going to give us much more depth in the infield, since Gerardo Perdomo will not be available in the first games of the Round Robin due to a family commitment and would return in January,” Guzm\u00e1n pointed out.<\/p>Gian Guzm\u00e1n, Baseball Operations Manager<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nGuzm\u00e1n also highlighted Adames’ versatility, who can play second and third base, and his offensive ability as a switch hitter. Adames had an outstanding season with the Tigres del Licey, demonstrating a solid performance in the regular season.\n\nThe Eagles made a total of six selections, focusing on strengthening the pitching. In addition to Adames, the team chose pitchers \u00d3scar de la Cruz, Misael Tam\u00e1rez, Yunior Marte, Carlos Bel\u00e9n and Andrew P\u00e9rez, seeking to strengthen their pitching staff for the semifinal phase.\n\nCristhian Adames participated in 49 of the 50 regular season games with the Tigres del Licey. In 169 at-bats, he achieved a .308 average, with 52 hits, three home runs, 12 doubles, 20 runs scored and 22 RBIs. His OBP was .391, the slugging .432 and the OPS .823.\n\n\u00d3scar de la Cruz, who had a great performance in the regular season, was another of those chosen. Guzm\u00e1n highlighted that De la Cruz is a starter who usually pitches deep into games, providing greater flexibility to the team.\n\nRegarding potential imported reinforcements, Guzm\u00e1n mentioned that the team is in conversations with foreign leagues, awaiting their re-entry drafts. Currently, the team has space for imported players.\n\nGuzm\u00e1n assured that the core of the team remains stable and that important reincorporations are expected for the Round Robin, including the return of Perdomo, the reintegration of Amador and the possible activation of Jonathan Clase.\n\nLas \u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as will begin their participation in the Round Robin this Friday, December 27, with the aim of advancing to the Final Series.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
