Fall/Winter Roundup: Playoffs begin in Venezuela

After a busy week during the Winter Meetings, things slowed abruptly toward the holidays. No Red Sox prospects saw game action during the week of December 16-22. The Venezuelan Professional Baseball League saw its regular season end on the 21st, and the playoffs started on the 22nd. Bryan Mata and Carlos Narvaez saw their teams qualify for the playoffs, but neither player is guaranteed to play. Magallanes is looking for a permit to extend Mata's time with the club, while Narvaez has not played since the Red Sox acquired him on December 11. In Puerto Rico, the regular season is scheduled to end on January 4, with the playoffs running from January 5-15.
