Puerto Rico has always brought strong teams into the Caribbean World Series, though they have not won a championship since Criollos de Caguas won back-to-back titles in 2017 and 2018. Indios was one of three teams that finished with a 2-2 record in the opening round, though they lost to Mexico like everyone else did.

The Dominican Republic, coming off a 10-7 loss to Puerto Rico, will face Venezuela in one of two Caribbean Series semifinal matchups on Wednesday.

As MLB spring training looms, the 67th edition of the Caribbean Series will take baseball by storm, with play beginning on Friday, Jan. 31. The Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela - the four members of the Caribbean Professional Baseball Confederation - will each send the winner of their respective winter leagues to compete in the Caribbean Series 2025.
