SANTO DOMINGO.- At the opening of the Leones del Esgido practices, leader Víctor Estévez motivated his players to fully identify with the red shirt and with the organization’s goal of winning its 17th crown.
“Passion and commitment to the Chosen One must be paramount. That’s why I told them that every time we wear the uniform we must have identity with the Chosen One and with the purpose of winning the championship,” said the new helmsman of the long-haired team.

Estévez was impressed with the players who participated in the Esído call, among them the left-hander Enny Romero, who has been one of the best native pitchers in Lidom in recent years.
“We know the caliber of pitcher he has and the experience in the league. The fact that he joins so early speaks volumes about the commitment he has to the Lions,” he commented.
In addition to Romero, right-handers Emmanuel Ramírez, Christopher Molina and Sauryn Lao also stood out, as well as position players Wendell Rijo (IF), Sandber Pimentel (1B), Jimmy Paredes (OF), Freuddy Batista (C) and Héctor Rodríguez ( OF). Lao and Rodríguez were selected in the last 2023 Rookie Draft.

“I was very struck by the passion that all the players have. Having talented young players here surrounded by veterans like Jimmy who set an example of commitment is something very important,” said Estévez.
“The coaching staff is just as committed. “The message that has been given to the players is the same message that we all have,” he added.
Franmil Reyes will join soon
Jaylon Pimentel, the Director of Operations of the Lions, in addition to expressing his joy at the development of the club’s opening practices, pointed out some of the upcoming integrations of the capital, highlighting the name of outfielder Franmil Reyes.
“This week we wait for Franmil Reyes, Gerson Bautista, Rhiner Cruz and others who will soon receive authorization to join us. “Franmil will come ready to take action immediately,” said Pimentel.
Jaylon also highlighted that rookie Héctor Rodríguez has permission from the Cincinnati Reds to participate this year and that most of the Chosen reinforcements will join the team between October 8 and 10.
Likewise, he explained that the integration of Junior Lake, one of the main Chosen players acquired in the new free agency, is also expected soon.
