MIAMI (AP) — The Caribbean Series will return to the Miami Marlins' loanDepot park after the team reached a multiyear agreement with the Caribbean Professional Baseball Confederation, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press.
The deal will allow the Marlins, who hosted the Caribbean Series in 2024, to host three more editions of the winter league champions tournament beginning in 2028, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the team has not made a formal announcement.
ESPN first reported the news.
The Marlins had already secured the 2028 edition of the tournament after bringing record numbers to Miami in 2024 — the first time the Caribbean Series was held at a major league ballpark. The future years are not yet set.
A crowd of 36,677 watched Venezuela beat the Dominican Republic in the championship at loanDepot park — the largest crowd ever for a Caribbean Series game and a higher attendance than the 2023 World Baseball Classic championship game (36,098) between the United States and Shohei Ohtani's Japan club held at the same venue.
Before returning to Miami, the Caribbean Series will be held in Caracas, Venezuela, in 2026 and Hermosillo, Mexico, in 2027.

LONDON (AP) — Jannik Sinner was treated for a painful right elbow by a trainer at Wimbledon during a medical timeout in the second set while trailing in his fourth-round match against Grigor Dimitrov on Monday.
The No. 1-ranked Sinner was given a pill to take and received a massage at a changeover while down 3-2 in the second set at Centre Court. Sinner hadn't dropped a set in the tournament until falling behind No. 19 seed Dimitrov 6-3, 7-5.
The stadium's retractable roof was closed before the third set because of fading light.
Two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray was not a fan of that decision, writing on social media: “So ridiculous to close the roof at this stage of the match. At least an hour of light left….well over a set of tennis can still be played..its an outdoor tournament!”
Sinner was hurt in the opening set when he slipped and fell behind a baseline, bracing his fall with his right hand while still holding his racket.
As the trainer rubbed the elbow, Sinner winced. His coaches, Darren Cahill and Simone Vagnozzi, looked on from their box with concern.
Sinner entered Monday having lost a total of just 17 games in the tournament, tying the record for the fewest in the Open era by man at Wimbledon through three completed matches.
