MLB Exec Dominick Balsamo Says League Hopes To Have Team In Mexico

MLB Int'l VP Dominick Balsamo addressed the league's plans for Mexico after opening an office in the country, according to Miguel Boada Nájera of LA AFICIÓN. He said, "We are very excited about the opening of this office, as Mexico is one of our most important markets. I can say that, as our Commissioner Rob Manfred has mentioned, it is our goal to have a MLB team in Mexico in the future. One of our philosophies is think globally and act locally. We are very focused on the markets where we know that baseball is followed passionately and Mexico is one of these countries. ... At the same time, we are giving attention to youth players and the development of baseball. We want to develop Mexican talent" (LA AFICIÓN, 2/22).
