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

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.

Ever been to a Dodgers game? They actually built Dodger Stadium over a Mexican ghetto.....eminent domain'd them....but the people came back to reclaim their homes and live in Dodger Stadium.

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.
