Thanks to Mike Moffatt for catching this article about how Mexico City is looking to poach the Blue Jays from Toronto. Mayor Obrador may simply have mixed up Montreal and Toronto when talking about ballclubs for sale -- I wouldn't know Monterrey from Merida myself, so I'll not cast the first stone. But it's an interesting thought. Try to imagine what Carlos Delgado's final stats would be like if he played 81 games at a higher and warmer place than Coors Field.
More seriously, if Mexico could get its political, and to a lesser extent economic, problems straightened out, I'd be very interested in seeing a lower-elevation Mexican city get a crack at a major-league team. But Puerto Rico might be first in line, and I think Mexicans are mad primarily for fútbol rather than béisbol. And the currency problems in either jurisdiction could make Canadian teams look Steinbrennerian by comparison. But everything else being equal, I will be very happy the day baseball expands into Latin America.
