For the general manager and vice president of Operations, Audo Vicente, preparation is the fundamental pillar for achieving a successful campaign. “To have a winning season, preparation is essential. Today we have more than 30 players from day one, which demonstrates the commitment of the group. This start marks the path towards what we hope will be a great campaign,” said Vicente, also thanking the veterans who, despite knowing their personal routines, integrated into the training sessions early on. Among the players present, César Valdez, Lisalberto Bonilla, Ulises Joaquín, Michael Félix, Severino, Paolo Espino and Jorge López stood out, who join a base of young talents from the draft, guaranteeing a mix of experience and youth that, according to the executive, represents the future of the organization. Vicente also highlighted the performance of young players like Ángel Ortiz, who left a good impression last season and returned this year in great physical shape. Joining him are others like Domingo Leyva, Luis Barrera and Yophery Rodríguez, who are looking to establish themselves in the team’s roster. The manager also praised the commitment of leader Gilbert Gómez and his technical staff, who, despite having recently won a championship, showed up from day one to work with the players. “The message is clear: both players and coaches are committed to this season. Everyone has put aside time with their families to integrate into this project from the beginning,” emphasized Vicente. Finally, he urged the loyal blue fanbase to maintain their unconditional support: “We ask you to accompany us, not only in training, but filling the stadium from October 15th. What we can promise is a competitive, respectful team committed to giving their all on the field.”
