Royals Caribbean Report (11/30)

It’s time for the weekly update of the Royals playing in the Caribbean Winter Leagues.

Some list maintenance notes:

• RHP-Juan Abreu has been removed from the DWL list since he was signed by the Atlanta Braves. 
• 3B-Wilson Betemit has been added to the DWL list since he was signed by the Royals.
• RHP-Federico Castaneda has been added to the Mexican Winter League list.  I must have missed his name when I originally went through all the MWL rosters.
