With just over two weeks until Major League Baseball's Spring Training, the Caribbean Series is about to kick off, following the Dominican Championship League Series where Escogido triumphed over Licey 6-5. This victory positions Escogido as the representative team from the Dominican Republic for the Caribbean Series starting January 31.

The game featured an exciting match-up between current Seattle Mariners pitcher Carlos Vargas and former Mariners infielder Jean Segura. Segura's RBI double off Vargas was pivotal, giving Escogido a 1-0 lead. Vargas, who joined the Mariners in a trade involving Eugenio Suarez, is still awaiting his major league debut, while Segura is a free agent after a stint with the Miami Marlins in 2023.
