Re: MLB Seriously Considering Expansion into Mexico
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)

Re: MLB Seriously Considering Expansion into Mexico
https://theringer.com/mlb-expansion-mex ... bce43269acAt 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.

Re: MLB Seriously Considering Expansion into Mexico
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.Freed Roger wrote:Put it by the border and the right field wall will be covered.
