Team changes

The number of teams increased from eighteen in 2023 to twenty in 2024 (the last time that twenty teams contested the league was in 1979) with four new franchises joining the LMB for this season. [3]

Dorados de Chihuahua and Conspiradores de Querétaro joined the league as expansion teams. The Dorados first played in the Mexican League in 1940 and had since played in the league in several stints, the most recent being from 2007 to 2010, while the Conspiradores were established in 2023, bringing professional baseball to Querétaro for the first time. [4] [5]

Charros de Jalisco returned to the LMB after purchasing the Mariachis de Guadalajara; Charros last played in the Mexican League in 1995 and joined the Mexican Pacific League in 2014. [6] [7] Caliente de Durango, owned by Grupo Caliente, replaced Generales de Durango after the league suspended the Generales due to its owner's legal problems. [8] [9]
