  • Teams highlighted in red withdrew from the competition. Due to economic issues surrounding their respective leagues, both the Argentinian and Chilean representatives decided not to participate in this edition.[3] Leones de Montería and Caballos de Coclé boycotted the competition, with Leones withdrawing due to a dispute over missing prize money from their Latin American Series win in 2015, and Caballos after failing to come to an agreement with ALBP over salaries.[4][5] Bravos de Urracá (highlighted in green), who came second in the Panamanian Professional Baseball League, were called in as the replacement representative for Panama.[6]
