The United States wants to punish the Ortega-Murillo regime for engaging in "repressive and persistent" attacks on the rule of law, but using CAFTA-DR as a route may be complicated.

The official government newspaper announced on Jan. 8 the “voluntary dissolution” of 11 organizations including the Dominican Nuns Foundation of Nicaragua.

The St. Louis Cardinals announced today the signing of 12 free-agent players representing the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Panama, Mexico and Nicaragua on the first day of Major League Baseball’s international signing period for 2025.

For seven seasons in the 2010s, the Cardinals hit just .194 off right-handed reliever Pedro Strop. A late-innings menace to opposing offenses primarily for the Cubs, Strop fashioned himself a role that led to a 13-year big league career.
