There is a minor/indy Mexican League. It's actually fairly decent for that kind of league. My favorite team name is the Toros de Tijuana. Here are a few of the others:
Diablos Rojos del Mexico - Mexico City
Sultanes de Monterrey
Broncos de Tamaulipas
Pericos de Puebla (Puebla Parrots)

At the All-Star Game FanFest last week, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred mentioned Mexico City (along with Montreal and Charlotte) as possible long-term recipients of an expansion team, just as he had the previous spring (when he announced plans to open a Mexico City office and identified Mexico City and Montreal as “personal [front-runners]”), as well as in October 2015, when he visited Mexico and talked up its potential as a new location for the league. Manfred’s latest spoken overture to Mexico City comes on the heels of a report from earlier this month — since confirmed by executive director of the MLB Players Association Tony Clark — that the Padres and Dodgers could play a regular-season series at Estadio Fray Nano next April, which Manfred has mentioned as a crucial step on the path to a more regular presence.

But since they usually put the bullpens beyond the outfield wall will the relievers have to go through customs every time they come into the game? I can't imagine that'll help the flow of gameplay.
