While Major League Baseball begins to wind down the 2018 season, a large percentage of MiLB and many MLB players have made the journey south for the winter to continue playing in one of a number different winter leagues across Central and South America and even Australia. A few of these leagues begin play this weekend so let’s take a look at where a number of San Diego Padres prospects have chosen to play this winter, starting with the Venezuelan winter league.
