Wilson Ramos y Edward Olivares, y para completar el trío entregado por los bengalíes a los insulares, entro en ese combo en lanzador derecho y que también tuvo una breve pasantía en la MLB, Osmer Morales, es decir, Aragua entrega a dos bateadores natos y un lanzador que puede ayudar a los isleños, sobre todo al inicio del torneo de la 2023-2024, por su parte los Tigres reciben a un pelotero versátil y que batea para buen promedio en las mayores como Thairo Estrada, quien pertenece a los Gigantes de San Francisco, y dos lanzadores, Pedro Ávila y Luis Rijo.

Para saber a ciencia cierta quien gana o no en este cambalache, tendríamos que esperar hasta octubre o que la temporada de la LVBP avance, y así saber quienes se incorporan o no a estos equipos involucrados en dicho cambio, pero seguramente tanto Morales como Ramos deberían jugar temprano con Margarita, en el caso de Morales no cuenta con contrato en el béisbol organizado y eso es un punto a favor del equipo que recién lo adquirió, y en el de Wilson, tiene como mayor motivación que jugaría con su hermano durante toda la campaña, ahora con Olivares se tendría que esperar, ya que está muy bien conceptuado por su equipo en las grandes ligas, que son los Reales de Kansas City.

Los Tigres, quienes han sido bastante activos en el mercado de cambios durante este 2023, esperan que los dos lanzadores, tanto Avila, como Rijo, vean acciones en el mes de octubre, pero con Estrada estaría pasando lo mismo que con Olivares, todo eso por el estatus de estos peloteros en la MLB, a continuación veremos algunos números de los peloteros involucrados en el cambio que le hemos mencionado y así poder saber que tan parejo o no puede estar este canje.

Movements continue in the dead season of the professional baseball league in Venezuela, during the weekend a change was announced that surprised many of us who follow the Venezuelan baseball, as it involved one of the figures or emblem of the team of the garden city, I speak of the Tigres de Aragua, who got the services of players of great level, but to get this mutiny, they had to deliver three pieces, two of them with major league experience.

Wilson Ramos and Edward Olivares, and to complete the trio delivered by the Bengals to the Islanders, Osmer Morales, a right-handed pitcher who also had a brief internship in the MLB, entered in that combo, that is to say, Aragua delivers two natural hitters and a pitcher who can help the Islanders, On the other hand, the Tigres receive Thairo Estrada, who belongs to the San Francisco Giants, and two pitchers, Pedro Avila and Luis Rijo, a versatile player who hits for a good average in the majors. 

To know for sure who wins or not in this trade, we would have to wait until October or the LVBP season progresses, and thus know who joins or not these teams involved in this change, but surely both Morales and Ramos should play early with Margarita, In the case of Morales he does not have a contract in organized baseball and that is a point in favor of the team that recently acquired him, and in the case of Wilson, his main motivation is that he would play with his brother during the entire campaign, now with Olivares we would have to wait, since he is very well regarded by his team in the big leagues, which are the Kansas City Royals.

The Tigers, who have been quite active in the trade market during this 2023, expect both pitchers, Avila and Rijo, to see action in October, but with Estrada the same thing would be happening as with Olivares, all this because of the status of these players in the MLB, below we will see some numbers of the players involved in the change we have mentioned and so we can know how even or not this swap can be.

Edward Olivares is a player who has practically not participated in our league, but was expected to do so last year, after OFAC lifted the sanctions that were in force against the Tigres de Aragua, but decided to stay playing in the Dominican Republic, but let's see how he has done in the MLB in the few games where he has participated, 364 official turns at bat, 48 runs scored, 95 hits, he has shown power with his 13 homers, 39 runs batted in, 261 average and an OPS of 713, no doubt he is a great hitter, if he gets in uniform with the Braves he would be a great help.

On the other hand, the catcher with more than 10 years of experience in the big league, Wilson Ramos, will be vital in the handling of the insular pitching, since it is his specialty, and he has the plus that he is a good hitter, these are the numbers of Ramos in the majors throughout his brilliant career, 990 games as a starter, 3492 at-bats, with 362 runs scored, 946 hits, 136 home runs, 534 runs batted in with a lifetime average of 271 and his OPS is 750, good numbers. Last season he contributed his experience to help the Tigres achieve a miraculous recovery and reach the Round Robin.

Osmer Morales is an arm that can be of great help, he has no restrictions, since he has no contract in baseball in the United States, he can be a reliever and starter, and best of all, he can perform in both roles, we will look at Morales' numbers in the Venezuelan league, He has 12 wins for 15 losses, 166 strikeouts, 79 tickets and one save throughout his career in the Venezuelan league, he has belonged to the Cardenales de Lara, Tigres de Aragua and in 2023 he will be part of the Bravos de Margarita, we will see how he does with a new team and the island airs.

Now we will take a look at the players who came to the Tigres de Aragua, we will start with the crown jewel in this change, Thairo Estrada with some campaigns in the big leagues, his beginnings were with the Yankees, but he has established himself with the San Francisco Giants, these are his statistics in the MLB: 737 times at bat, 112 hits, 190 hits, 22 home runs, 101 runs batted in, with an average of 258 and an OPS of 726, he has been a luxury utility for the Californian Bay.

Pedro Avila, who belongs to the San Diego Padres, already has a brief internship in the best baseball in the world, has 0 wins and 1 loss, with an effectiveness of 2.70, has four games of experience and two of them as a starter, 13.1 episodes, 15 hits and a WHIP of 1.28, has an explosive line, and be careful if they turn him into a closer in the not too distant future, he should be part of the starting lineup of the felines and be part of the restructuring of the pitching staff of ARAGUA.

Last but not least is the arrival of another pitcher whose name is Luis Rijo, he has as statistics in the minor leagues these numbers, 16 wins and 18 losses, 3.20 effectiveness, 67 games in which he has participated, 55 starts, 290.0 innings pitched, 270 strikeouts, 59 tickets, with an effectiveness of 247 and a WHIP of 1. 14, he is a right fielder in full development, who is seen more for the future of the Tigres, than for the present, this change looks pretty even and everything will be defined if Thairo Estrada and Edward Olivares perform, but I like how the team from Margarita Island is being structured, it will dawn and we will see what happens.
