The Delfines del Carmen were a Mexican Baseball League expansion club based in Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche. They played their home games at the Estadio Resurgimiento in Ciudad del Carmen.[1]

History[]

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

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]
