I know that this is the king of sports there, to put it in some way. We can have Cuba at some point in the Confederation, Puello said in statements with Cuban media outlets present at the 2023 Caribbean Baseball Series.

The manager added that he was very happy that Cuba returned to the contest this year, and anticipated that the Caribbean island may also be present in the upcoming version, scheduled for next year in Miami. It does not depend on the commissioner, but on many other things. Politics cannot be confused with sports. Cuba for me is an important League for the Confederation I will go to Havana in March to refine some things that I will discuss later with Cuban authorities, he indicated.

Regarding Gran Caracas 2023, he commented that it was important for them that the Series returned to Venezuela, because it was one of the founding countries.

A very difficult challenge was accepted, consisting of eight teams in two venues. We know the logistical effort that this demands and the Venezuelan League is also very important, he said.

After the preliminary calendar concluded, the 2023 Caribbean Series celebrates today its semifinal matches in Mexico (Cañeros de los Mochis)-Dominican Republic (Tigres del Licey) and Venezuela (Leones del Caracas)-Colombia (Vaqueros de Montería).
