Despite having stars of the caliber of Alejandro Kirk, Andrés Muñoz, Randy Arozarena, Jonathan Aranda, Joey Meneses, Javier Assadamong others, the Mexican team failed to advance beyond the first round after finishing with a 2-2 record. The defeats against the United States and Italy were key to elimination.
To get rid of that bad taste in their mouths, fans and the players themselves are waiting for the start of the 2026 Major League season, which will start this Wednesday with the clash between the New York Yankees and the San Francisco Giants. A day later, the rest of the teams will be active on the classic Opening Day.
Among the Mexican players to take into account, the names of Alejandro Kirk stand out. The Toronto Blue Jays catcher helped the team reach the World Series, where they lost to the Dodgers.
Andrés Muñoz and Randy Arozarena also stand out with the Seattle Mariners. The duo of pitcher and batter, respectively, contributed to breaking a 23-year drought without seeing this team in an American League Championship Series.
For now, we present to you the list of the notable Mexicans who made the roster for the MLB Opening Day.
