San Juan has the same problem Mexico City has: It’s a poor area relative to the major U.S. markets, and wouldn’t be able to generate enough.

The Latin city which would put all the others to shame in supporting its team would be Havana if those damned Castro brothers would die. Okay, some other things would have to fall into place as well and this a far-into-the-future candidate but I don't think that any Western Hemisphere city would have more potential once Cuba gets out from under its political yoke.

Interesting comments about a MLB team in Mexico City. The Mexican League is AAA level, with 20 teams. None are associated with a MLB club, however. The Mexico City Red Devils play in a stadium for 26,000 fans. For such a baseball loving country, that’s pretty small. But huge for a AAA team. Especially when they have that soccer stadium that holds over a hundred thousand. Maybe a MLB club COULD tap into more fans, and have it be a source of national pride.
