Dominicans who must leave 2025 season in the past and focus on 2026

Several of the main Dominican stars did not have the year waiting at the beginning of the Major Leagues campaign.

The end of the regular season of Major Leagues It provides a perfect opportunity to analyze and put in perspective what were 6 months of hard work. For most teams and players, it symbolizes the beginning of a deep look towards the internal and what should change the next season to join the postseason or to improve performance in a general way.

It is always good to remember that, of 30 franchises, only 12 advance to the postseason, which leaves 18 organizations, together with all their teams, managers and owners, embarked on an extensive process of analysis of what follows for them.

2025 presented an opportunity for many stars to do what we are accustomed to, while there were others that, for multiple reasons, did not meet the expectations about them. This includes several of the Dominican stars that have to leave behind what happened in the 2025 season, regardless of whether they managed to enter the postseason or not, and put their eyes in 2026.

Digital AM850 makes the tour of five of the names that must make changes for the next season of the Major Leagues.

Rafael Devers – San Francisco Giants

2025 of Rafael Devers It was a year of a lot of scandal, from the training camps to its eventual arrival, via change, to San Francisco Giants.

The Dominican ended with a good season in terms of general numbers, it is unquestionable, but at the same time, the distractions around him did not make favors. Now, in a new franchise that has opted for him to reach the next level, the approach of Devers You have to be one hundred percent to produce and learn to play in the first base.

Sandy Alcántara – Miami Marlins

We don’t know if Sandy Alcántara He released his last game with Miami Marlinsbut we do know that this year was a challenge in every way for the Cy Young of the National League In the 2022 season.

Despite being true that Alcantara He was able to rescue his campaign, to some extent, it is no less true that in terms of general performance, the domain was not there, and 2025 was a bad statistical campaign for the Dominican pitcher.

Either with Marlins Or with another flannel, Alcántara will have a new opportunity to straighten the ship in 2026.

Elly de la Cruz – Cincinnati Reds

ELLY DE LA CRUZ It was a history of two halves. The Dominican arrived with great performance to the pause of Star setbut his second half, was completely the opposite.

We do not know if the tragic death of his sister is related to the performance shown in 2025, which is a possibility and a reason more than understandable of low production, so it is only necessary to expect that in 2026 we can see the great dynamic player we enjoy in 2024.

Fernando Tatis Jr. – San Diego Padres

Fernando Tatis Jr. He did not have the best of the offensive years, but played his largest number of games in MLB (155) and is again a solid candidate for Platinum glove of the National League for his defense.

Tatis Jr. He showed high levels of offensive inconsistency throughout the season, but what caught most about him in the campaign, was the news that he had sued a company that made a loan when he was still a prospect. Regardless of the result of San Diego Padres Or of the judicial process in question, the noise becomes unnecessary around someone with so much talent, so it would be a positive sign that all that stays in 2025.

Luis Severino – Athletics

Luis Severino He received the greatest contract in the history of the Ahthletics And in his first year, he placed one of his worst statistical years in general terms, in a season where there were no high expectations with the organization.

At the beginning of the year, Severino talking about the fact that he would have accepted an offer of the MetsNor did he beat many fans, so it is necessary that by 2026, he will re -readever himself in his career, either to contribute to Athletics or to increase its sufficient value that generates interest in other teams to change for it.
