Milwaukee Brewers rising star Jackson Chourio is coming off a forceful 2024 campaign in which he was a Rookie of the Year finalist. The 20-year-old also showed his talent in the post-season, setting the stage for a brilliant future. Despite his impressive achievements, Chourio chose to participate in the Venezuelan Winter League, and his manager cautiously nodded in approval of his decision.
Who will Jackson Chourio play for in the Venezuelan Winter League?
Jackson Chourio will play for Aguilas Del Zulia (Zuila Eagles). This team is based in Maracaibo, Venezuela and marks the city where Chourio was born. On Instagram, Chourio made it clear that he would be very proud to play for them again this winter, but only for part of the season. Chourio has played with the Eagles every winter since 2021.
Should the Milwaukee Brewers be concerned about Jackson Chourio playing winter baseball?
The biggest risk associated with players participating in baseball during the MLB offseason is injury. Last winter, the New York Mets lost prospect Ronny Mauricio for the entire 2024 regular season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury he suffered during winter ball. Additionally, during the last World Baseball Classic, Jose Altuve broke his thumb, which sidelined him for the start of the MLB regular season.
Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy cautiously gave Jackson Chourio the nod to play baseball this winter
On MLB winter gamesPat Murphy talked about Jackson Chourio’s participation in the Venezuelan Winter League. Murphy cautiously nodded in approval, saying, “I love it, I like that he has that desire to play. He likes doing it. He will be close to his family and that makes me happy. For now, I want him to stay healthy and be able to get rid of this itch. I really want to play there.”
