The new agreement between MLB and the Players Association establishes “tours” or meetings in five cities outside the United States.
Major League games could be held again in Puerto Rico , Dominican Republic and Mexico in the next five years as part of the new agreement between Major League Baseball and the Players Association that ended the 99-day lockout on Thursday.
According to a source from Tim Healey, from the Newsday Sports portal, MLB will carry out “tours” or hold meetings in Mexico, Asia, the Dominican Republic, London, Paris and Puerto Rico before 2027.
The last time a series was held at Puerto Rico’s Hiram Bithorn Stadium was in 2018 with two games between the Cleveland Indians (now Guardians) and the Minnesota Twins. Back then, shortstop Francisco Lindor and catcher Roberto “Bebo” Pérez were with Cleveland, while starter José Berríos and outfielder Eddie Rosario wore Minnesota uniforms.
In April 2020, the Majors were going to return to San Juan with a couple of games between the New York Mets and the Florida Marlins, but the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the commitment.
On Thursday, MLB and the Players Association certified a new collective bargaining agreement after months of tense negotiations. The season is scheduled to start on April 7.
