Quick ABL info: The Australian Baseball league takes place Nov thru Jan. and is being used by some major league teams for winter league play for Anglophone minor leaguers instead of Hispanophone winter leagues. The ABL only has one level, so this is top level play in their league, where they’ll face a mix of other minor leaguers, former big leaguers, and foreign pros. They negotiate player pacakages with MLB teams, in this case Ordonez is the 4th named player of 5 total that Pittsburgh agreed to send to the Blue Sox this season.
