Note that these are just the initial names that we’ve found so there will be more to come and we will update the list as needed.

One important name to note that’s missing is Mets top prospect Amed Rosario who the Aguilas Cibaenas of the Dominican League were counting on to be their starting shortstop this year. The Mets have decided to deny Rosario permission to play so he will sit on the Cibaenas reserve list which can be revisited in December if the Mets change their mind.
Wilmer Flores normally plays for the Bravos de Margarita of the Venezuelan League but that won’t happen this year with his impending wrist surgery.
It will be interesting to see if Juan Lagares plays for the Cibaenas after getting only 142 at-bats this season. He has played for the Cibaenas in six of the last eight winter ball seasons.
