MEXICO CITY._ Yesterday, after the “Christmas warm-up,” there was two surprise news related to the Sinaloa pitcher, José Urquidy. The first: his agreement with the Arizona Diamondbacks did not materialize and that is why he left the Venados de Mazatlán a few days ago.
And the second: he decided to return to the activity he needs to continue showing his current physical conditions, but not with the port reds, but with the Leones del Esgido, defending champions of the Dominican League.
The Deer would have been delighted by the reinstatement of the 30-year-old right-hander, who in six starts in the current cycle, compiled 3-1, 1.09 earned runs, 35 strikeouts and 7 walks in 33 innings.
But the board of directors of the club that is fighting with the Algodoneros de Guasave and Tucson Baseball Team for the last ticket to the playoffs, supported the free agent by not objecting to the league change that needed their authorization.
Lidom will begin its postseason this Saturday, which consists of a long “round robin” that four teams will play in pursuit of the two places for the series for the absolute title and the pass to the 2026 Caribbean Series. The knockout stage will conclude on January 17.
Urquidy will thus join the extensive list of Mexicans who have reinforced Dominican squads and in which, precisely, Héctor Daniel Rodríguez (2012), Jorge Cantú, José Guadalupe Chávez and José Cobos in 2013 and Sebastián Valle in 2016, contributing to the Chosen One pennants, stand out.
THE Texas Rangers stopped the Jaguares de Nayarit outfielder, Aarón Zavala, who did not travel with the team for the series against the Cañeros de Los Mochis in the new Emilio Ibarra Almada, alias “Schevron Park.”
Just like that, the sensational team that broke into the Mexican Pacific League lost a .358 hitter with 6 home runs and 27 RBIs in 27 games of his debut season.
Zavala, 25 years old, originally from Eugene, Oregon and evident ancestry, is one of the prospects with an MLB label who still land in the Arc, although subject to the plans of their organizations.
ON A day like today, in 1982- Eleno Cuén threw her 18th complete game of the season and the Ostioneros de Guaymas beat the Yaquis of Ciudad Obregón, 3-1. Jim Wilson and Bobby Smith blew the wall against Francisco Cota.
Today is the birthday of Ernesto Escarrega (77) and Jim Leyritz (62). On December 27, 2020, Cooperstown Hall of Fame pitcher Phil Niekro (81) passed away.

IN seguidillas.- The manager of the Charros de Jalisco, Benjamín Gil, and his son Mateo, were not in the first game of the series against the Algodoneros de Guasave at the Panamericano stadium. It is one of the privileges granted by the Hernández Íñigo family to Gil and their first-born, having had other absences in the previous and current cycle… The bench coach, Noé Muñoz, was in charge, who boasts an extensive record of service as interim pilot… Águilas de Mexicali brings Raudy Read (.280, 1, 2), a robust Dominican catcher who in 2017 and 2019 had some turns in the Majors with the Washington Nationals. In 2025, he hit .338 and 3 home runs with 15 RBIs in 18 games for the Tijuana Toros.
