Following the success of this weekend's games, the director of the MLB office in Mexico and Latin America, Rodrigo Fernandez, recently spoke to reporters and confirmed that the MLB Mexico City Series will return to Mexico:
“We will surely be back in Mexico City. I think the most important thing is how we have shown the world that baseball lives in Mexico City; the players in particular are very happy. Some told us that the atmosphere was quite similar to that of the World Classic [Baseball]. That speaks highly of our fans.”
According to reports, the MLB is planning to play some games in Monterrey in the 2025 season. The league has previously played 11 games in Monterrey.
