Santo Domingo.- The MLB Dominican Republic Series featuring the Tampa Bay Rays and the Boston Red Sox is making significant strides as it approaches. Scheduled for this Saturday, March 9, and Sunday, March 10 at the Quisqueya Juan Marichal Stadium, the event promises not only thrilling baseball but also additional attractions.
Preparations for the preseason games include the construction of a new batter’s box on the left field side, adding to the overall enhancement of the venue. Limited tickets are available for this highly anticipated event, as highlighted by the organizers.
Major League Baseball and Uepatickets have confirmed that the capital’s baseball park is now suitable for hosting spring training games, with final touches being applied to the entire facility.

This meticulous preparation ensures that the mounds and home plate meet the highest MLB standards.
Further details about the MLB Dominican Republic Series, including information about artistic shows and the participation of personalities from baseball and national life, will be announced by the organizers in due course.
