The Broncos have really been going after local talent this year already signing OJ Garza and Andres “El Monkey” Santos, and Broncos Field Manager Ricardo Cuevas would like to see a few more locals try to make the team. “Laredo has great baseball talent. I know there are some players in the area, that can come out and give their best and have a shot at making the team.”
Players that are selected at the tryout camp will be invited to spring training and have a chance at making the final roster. The first game of the year will take place on June 11th against the Edinburg Roadrunners.
The Laredo Broncos begin their 4th season in 2009. The Broncos will play an 80 game season from June to September with 36 home games at Veterans Field.
