Artemisa debía sumar a filas el talento suficiente para enfrentar la IV Liga Élite de Béisbol, y lo hizo con creces, al reforzarse en las líneas que más lo demandaban. En la primera vuelta llamó al receptor Harold Vázquez, uno de los mayores talentos en su posición. El joven santiaguero combina elevado promedio de bateo y oportunidad con hombres en base. Luego, Yulieski González, timonel de los Cazadores, optó por Raider Sánchez, otro pelotero de la tierra caliente, a quien a sus 19 años consideran la nueva perla del béisbol en esa provincia, por su fuerza al bate y versatilidad a la defensa. La tercera elección fue Juan Manuel Pérez, un jugador de cuadro pinareño también muy polivalente. Acto seguido, pidió a dos vegueros más, esta vez dos experimentados: Alexei Ramírez, de quien poco hace falta decir, pues brilló en la MLB y sigue rindiendo con los pativerdes, y Erly...

«¿Ustedes creen que la gente va a ser tan idiota que no va a poder decidir? Va a llegar el momento que se va a morir de hambre por lo cual va a decidir, de alguna manera, para no morirse», afirmó el presidente argentino, Javier Milei, explicando su idea de que las personas resolverían su propia situación de hambre sin intervención estatal.
