Manager of Tigres del Licey clarified that the debut of Juan Soto is not planned

Vicente Audo, general manager of the Tigres del Licey, assured that they do not plan for Juan Soto to join the team in the next few days, ESPN reported.

The MLB player belongs in LIDOM to the squad of the capital of the Dominican Republic. As in recent days he was seen practicing at the Quisqueya Juan Marichal stadium, speculation began with his possible premiere.

Soto has yet to make his debut in his country’s rented ball and has been with the Washington Nationals for 4 years.

“To play or not (with the Licey) is a decision of him or his franchise, which cannot, as I understand it, have an approach with him, because we are in a lockout,” explained Audo according to ESPN.
