"The Venezuelan winter league suspended play following the United States taking military action in Caracas, casting uncertainty on a couple of Los Angeles Dodgers players. Edgardo Henriquez, a Venezuelan native, had been pitching for La Tiburones de la Guaira, and Dodgers prospect Eduardo Quintero also briefly spent time with the team. With roughly five weeks until Spring Training begins, the Dodgers could face some challenges trying to get their players back to the United States."
""I don't really care about the baseball side of it right now. I just want to make sure our guys are in a good place and we're trying to help out where we can," Gomes said. "Everybody is in a good place right now seemingly. It's a little slower than anybody would like. Our goal is to stay in contact with them and do whatever we can to help them get out as soon as we can.""
Venezuelan winter league play was suspended after the United States conducted military action in Caracas, leaving some Los Angeles Dodgers-affiliated players stranded or facing uncertain travel. Edgardo Henriquez had been pitching for La Tiburones de la Guaira and Dodgers prospect Eduardo Quintero also spent time with the team. With about five weeks until Spring Training, travel disruptions make timely returns uncertain. Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes reported staying in contact with those players and prioritizing their safety over baseball matters while assisting with exits. The league has resumed, the Caribbean Series relocated from Caracas to Guadalajara, and two other Venezuelan-linked Dodgers remain in the U.S.
