That is, of course, assuming a work stoppage from collective bargaining negotiations doesn&#8217;t delay the start of the next season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5p\">However, as Pat Murphy made clear during the team&#8217;s championship run, the Brewers are a team full of gamers who aren&#8217;t content to simply sit back and relax.

Participating in winter ball is far from uncommon among international players, with Brewers teammate Jackson Chourio serving as a notable example. Chourio has suited up for \u00c1guilas del Zulia, a league rival of Lara&#8217;s Tiburones de La Guaira, in each of the past five winters, appearing in anywhere from six to 21 games per season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6e\">It would be an exciting opportunity if Lara&#8217;s able to suit up for La Guaira this winter, as the baseball world awaits clarity on what the 2027 MLB season will look like.
