The Conspiradores de Querétaro (English: Querétaro Conspirators) are a professional baseball team in the Mexican League based in Huimilpan in the Metropolitan Area of Querétaro. Their home ballpark is the Estadio Conspiradores, with a capacity of 6,000 people. The team will debut in the 2024 Mexican League season.

History

The Conspiradores de Querétaro were established on 8 November 2022 and officially presented that same day in Querétaro City. Despite historically hosting several professional sports such as football club Querétaro F.C., basketball team Libertadores de Querétaro and American football team Gallos Negros de Querétaro, Querétaro have never had a professional baseball team.[1][2]

Purple, black and white were presented as the club's colors and it was announced that the team would start play in 2024 and that a baseball specific stadium would be built to host the Conspiradores.[3]

In November 2023, the Mexican League held an expansion draft, where the Conspiradores and the Dorados de Chihuahua, the two expansion teams for the 2024 season, picked 18 players from the other Mexican League franchises. Conspiradores selected Matt Clark, Iván Salas and Casey Coleman, amongst others.[4][5]

Stadium

Initially, it was announced that the new stadium would be built in the El Marqués municipality, near the Querétaro International Airport.[1] Nevertheless, in April 2023, works began in the Huimilpan municipality for the Estadio Conspiradores. The stadium will have a capacity of 6,000 seated spectators and 96 boxes and it is expected to be finished before the beginning of the 2024 season in March 2024.[6][7]
