After Tijuana lost their Mexican League franchise to Reynosa for 2009, the independent Golden Baseball League has stepped in with a new team to fill the pro baseball void in the Baja California border city.
A letter of intent filed between the GBL and a group of potential owners gives the latter the ability to finalize business and operations requirements with government officials and potential sponsors for the new franchise, whose ownership and team name will be formally announced in the near future.
The Mexican League disbanded the problem-plagued Tijuana Potros after last season and relocated the franchise to Reynosa. Tijuana is about 1,000 miles away from the nearest Liga team. The California-based Golden League, which has eyed the Tijuana market for some time, will become the first professional league to field teams in three countries in 2009.
