History

edit

In November 2011, Colombian entrepreneur Carlos Mejía bought the Tecolotes de Nuevo Laredo and moved them to Campeche, giving the state two baseball teams, the other being the Piratas de Campeche, based in Campeche City.[1][2]

The Delfines del Carmen operated in a span of five years from 2012 through 2016 as members of the LMB Zona Sur. They had only two winning seasons, made the playoffs in 2013 and 2014 – including the division title in 2013 – and posted the second worst record of the league in 2016. The team folded at the end of the season.[2]

In November 2016, the Mexican League announced that the franchise would be moved for the 2017 season to Durango, Durango, playing as the Generales de Durango.[3][4]
