The last time he stepped on that field, he was just a teenager looking for an opportunity in professional baseball. Now he returns as a Major League player, before family and friends, and facing a team full of stars from his native country.\n\nThe series also has a charitable purpose: to pay tribute to the victims of the Jet Set nightclub tragedy that occurred last April. As part of the event, MLB will make a donation to the Dominican Red Cross and Commissioner <strong>Rob Manfred<\/strong> will participate in a ceremony prior to the first game.\n\nDetroit manager, <strong>A. J. Hinch<\/strong>, highlighted the intensity and enthusiasm generated by playing games in a country where baseball is a national passion. For players like P\u00e9rez and prospect <strong>Thayron Liranzo<\/strong>, the series represents an emotional reunion with their homeland and the opportunity for their families to see them wear the Major League uniform.\n\nAlthough <strong>Framber Valdez<\/strong> will not pitch in Santo Domingo after his recent preseason appearance, he will accompany the team from the dugout. Meanwhile, figures like <strong>Riley Greene<\/strong> are preparing to experience for the first time the intensity of Dominican baseball, in an environment they anticipate will be similar to that of a postseason game.\n\nThe Quisqueya team will have a first-class squad led by <strong>Juan Soto<\/strong>, <strong>Fernando Tatis Jr.<\/strong>, <strong>Manny Machado<\/strong> and <strong>Vladimir Guerrero Jr.<\/strong>, in addition to a solid pitching staff led by <strong>Sandy Alc\u00e1ntara<\/strong>.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SANTO DOMINGO, RD. \u2013 The anticipation grows in the Dominican capital with the arrival of the Detroit Tigers for a special two-game series against the national team that will compete in the 2026 World Baseball Classic, at the Quisqueya Juan Marichal Stadium.
