Worldwide News

Latin League 12.08 -- The LL has suspended Montevideo 1B Salif Riitho 🇬🇲 and Asuncion RHP Alex Leonides 🇵🇾 for fighting. In the bottom of the 9th, with Montevideo rallying, Leonides hits Riitho with a pitch, and Riitho sees red.

Tale of the Tape:


I can't imagine this was a very long fight. Riitho, with five inches and 30 pounds on Leonides, easily triumphs.





Major League 12.09 -- Baltimore continues to wheel and deal, trading RHP Jean-Marc Bruneau 🇫🇷 and $2.2 million to the Mexico City Aztecs in exchange for 95th ranked prospect 1B Cody Tyson 🇺🇸, plus a 2nd round pick.

Latin League 12.09 -- Another big fight. Panama Niveladores 2B Angelo Reyes 🇻🇪 and Guadalajara Mariachis RHP Ignado Hernandez 🇲🇽 have been suspended after Hernandez, already down 3 in the first, decides to cut his own night short by plunking Reyes.

Tale of the Tape:


Pretty fair fight here. Hernandez outlasts Reyes with his superior stamina and beats him.






Liga Brasil 12.10 -- The Sao Paulo Industriais lose LHP Bartholomeu Burgeira 🇧🇷 for the season to a torn meniscus, in the midst of his breakout year.




Liga Brasil 12.10 -- Last year's home run leader Takeshi Lehrfel 🇧🇷🇯🇵 is approaching 'record watch' status with homer no. 15 in game 26. December 10 marks the halfway point of the BZL season, so Lehrfel is currently on pace to tie the record.




Suid-Afrikaanse Liga 12.12 -- Gqeberha's Peter Mwinyimadi 🇿🇦 is a pretty good pitcher, but he may want to reconsider his approach next time he sees Dida Kalamka 🇿🇦.






Latin League 12.13 -- Lima RHP Jon Garcia 🇵🇪 will miss the rest of this season, and all of next, after tearing his UCL.




Latin League 12.13 -- Guadalajara 3B Danny Morales 🇨🇴 hits his first three home runs of the year, and contributes to all 7 Mariachis runs, but it isn't enough to beat his former team.
