    How often do Mexico league AAA players get signed for MLB and make it to the Majors?

  2. That’s a good question. I’m not sure that it happens very often, but I couldn’t tell you why.

  3. Sometimes teams will lend/option their players to the Mexican league. They are still under contract and can be recalled by the big club later down the road. I think it also serves as kind of a better-than-independent league for players who are in between affiliated clubs; I believe Julio Franco did some time there before being brought back into MLB by Atlanta years ago.
