Ronald Acuña Jr. is set to play in the Venezuelan Winter League this offseason and could make his debut for Tiburones de La Guaira as soon as Thursday. That is also the day that the BBWAA will announce the winner of the MVP Award for which Acuña is a finalist.
The details are still being worked out for how much Acuña will play, but he feels strongly that his short stint last season helped propel him to his monster season in 2023.
“There’s always time to learn, there’s always time to improve, and that’s one of the reasons why I’m here, to improve every day — as a person, as a ballplayer — and have a great year the [upcoming] season, God willing, [just] like this one.
