Is MLB really interested in expanding into Mexico City?

Because sending the Astros and Rockies out there is probably not going to generate much excitement or demand for the sport.

You couldn’t get enough players willing to live down there, so no

This is a play to hook those fans before they cross the border

Astros are the best franchise of the last decade

Mexico City already has a team and they’re called the Astros

From what I've read, they don't build new stadiums with public money. And wouldn't pay MLB prices to watch. So it's highly unlikely.

Baseball is an American sport. It needs to stay in the states.

Denver will feel like sea level compared to Mexico City for the Rockies.

Aren’t all the Mexicans that can hit and steal already here?

They're just trying to tap into a new market to profit more and grow the sport. Hispanics love baseball. I've got no problem with it

A pro team in Santo Domingo would slap. The DR loves baseball.

MLB clearly doesn’t understand the market dynamics, the flow of people are coming INTO America, not Mexico City.

Didn't want to start a new thread with all the sports happening today. But this is still pretty awesome in light of all the hate America and other shenanigans going on in the world and at home
