A Mexican baseball team that hoped to make its home base in Tucson will close out its season without having played a single game in the U.S.
The franchise is part of the largest professional baseball league in Mexico and was based in Navojoa, Sonora. This year, they announced it would be moving stateside and be known simply as the Tucson Baseball Team.
The opening series was scheduled in October at the Kino Sports Complex in Tucson. But that plan came to a screeching halt a few weeks beforehand, after owner Victor Cuevas said the team had not obtained the correct visas for their new U.S. home.
Every game since then has been played at opponents’ stadiums in Mexico.
This week, the team announced it would finish the season that way and work to come to Tucson next year instead.
Their last game is Dec. 30.
