The Assembly of the Presidents of the Liga Mexicana de Beisbol declared at their winter meeting s of November 7-8 that four teams, 2 from the Zona Norte and 2 from the Zona Sur have requested a sabbatical for the 2019 season due to economic reasons.
It is reported that the owners of the Pericos de Puebla have tried to sell the franchise but have found no takers.
The Bravos de Leon, owned by the Arellano brothers, who also own the Leones de Yucatan have stated they will concentrate on the Leones as the Bravos have lost too much money.
Although there was no indication from the league on reasons for the Rieleros de Aguascalientes and the Algodones de Union Laguna it is safe to assume that because of the small population centers for these two teams that economics played a big part in the teams decision.
The league is formulating a schedule for the 2019 season with the remaining 12 teams.
The league also announced that the season will start the 1st week of April and concluding with the LMB Championship approximately the last week of September
