Paul Articulates – The Dominican Winter League

If you read my wrap-up on the Arizona Fall League last week, you saw that the Dominican Winter League had already gotten underway.  The DWL, more commonly known as LIDOM for its’ Spanish acronym, is a 50-game winter league played primarily in the Dominican Republic.  

It is populated with six teams that all have sizable rosters filled with minor league players, major league players, and ex-players all wanting to work on their games and possibly gain some visibility among the scouts.  In fact, there is a fairly large complement of players that have seen time in AA, AAA, or MLB but were not on a roster last year – so these athletes are looking for another shot.

The DWL has 180 rostered players right now.  Of the 180, the breakdown is as follows:

(2) 2023 rostered A-level minor league players

(13) 2023 rostered AA-level minor league players

(42) 2023 rostered AAA-level minor league players

(18) 2023 rostered MLB players

(52) ex-minor league players not on a 2023 roster

(44) ex-MLB players not on a 2023 roster

(9) players not identified on a MLB or minor league roster

Several players among these are worthy of note for Mets fans:

Current Syracuse Met Abraham Almonte is on the roster for the Leones del Escogido team

Current Syracuse Met Daniel Palka is on the roster for the Aguilas Cibaeñas team.

Former Syracuse Mets Adonis Medina (Tigres del Licey), Jordany Valdespin, and Antonio Santos (Gigantes del Cibao) and former Syracuse and NY Met Yennsy Diaz is on the  Estrellas Orientales team.

Former Brooklyn Cyclone Luis Manuel Gonzalez plays for Aguilas Cibaeñas.

Also on LIDOM rosters, familiar names like Jenrry Mejia, Hansel Robles, Robinson Cano, and Yasiel Puig are still playing.  Cano turned 41 years old this fall.

Currently the DWL is about 20 games into their 50-game season, so they are in rhythm.  The Cibao Giants (Gigantes del Cibao) lead the league with a 15-5 record.  The Tigres del Licey and Aguilas Cibaeñas teams were in New York to play a three-game series at Citi Field this past weekend.
