While Nicaragua will be debuting in the small Latin American World Series, the big absentees will be Cuba and Colombia, which have seen action in recent tournaments, including this year's one in Venezuela.

Why was Colombia left out of the 2024 Caribbean Series? The answer will depend on who is asked the question.

Colombia not only has a significant population in Miami and a respectable pool of talent in organized baseball in the United States, but it also won the Caribbean Series less than two years ago, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

"After careful consideration, we have decided on additional guests that will participate in the 2024 Caribbean Series in Miami. Unfortunately, Colombia has not been selected as one of the participants," he wrote in a letter sent to Colombia last week, the Mrs. Sara Loarte, president and commercial manager of Infinity Global, LLC, a consulting company in logistics and marketing of sporting events, which the Marlins hired to organize the Caribbean Series.

"We appreciate their proposal and their interest in the Series and we wish them all the best in their future baseball projects," added Loarte....................
