The Generales de Durango are a Triple-A Minor League Baseball team of Mexican League (LMB) that was established in November 2016. The team is based in Durango, the capital and largest city of the Mexican state of Durango. They entered the league in 2017 as a replacement for the departed Delfines del Carmen.[1]

History

Creation

In November 2016, LMB owners approved the move of the Delfines from Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche, to Durango, restoring professional baseball to the state for the first time since the Alacranes de Durango moved to Campeche to become the Piratas de Campeche in 1980. A remodeled Estadio de Béisbol Francisco Villa in Durango was announced as the home venue.[2] The move was nearly put in danger by economic risk, as reports circulated that the Generales would not play in 2017 due to the owner's lack of financial resources and delays in the remodeling of the stadium.[3] The franchise managed to begin play, though a delay of the planned opening game in the stadium was necessary.
