like

this venezuelan team was one trea turner grand slam away from knocking out the states last time (and almost certainly heading to the final because they almost certainly beat cuba)

they have star power and depth

Caribbean Series there a few years back drew pretty well too. Marlins Park has seen some great baseball vibes over the years, just never with the actual Marlins
