CTBC Brothers head south
The CTBC Brothers’ minor-league squad is traveling to Mexico to compete in the 2026 Baseball Champions League Americas — a notable move for cross-border player development. (x.com)
CTBC’s organization confirmed the club will send a farm/minor-league roster rather than its CPBL first team to the Mexico City tournament, a decision the team framed as necessary because of a scheduling conflict. (en.wikipedia.org)) The Baseball Champions League Americas runs March 24–29, 2026 at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú in Mexico City, with games played across that six-day window. (wbsc.org)) The tournament schedule opens with CTBC (listed as the CPBL invitee) facing Los Dantos de Managua on March 24 at 10:00 local time at Alfredo Harp Helú. (wbsc.org)) The 2026 field includes the Kane County Cougars (American Association champions), Diablos Rojos del México (LMB champions), the Cuban National Series champion (Cocodrilos de Matanzas), Los Dantos de Managua (Pomares champions) and the CTBC Brothers as an invited team. (worldbaseball.com)) The event will use a single round-robin format among the five teams with the top two advancing to a championship game, and Alfredo Harp Helú’s listed capacity is about 20,062 spectators. (en.wikipedia.org)) Mexico’s LMB hosted an official presentation for the 2026 edition that included CPBL representation via YiLing Hung on a videoconference, confirming league-level coordination for CTBC’s participation.
