Miguel Tejada Will Manage the Mayos de Navojoa
Former Dominican player Miguel Tejada has been announced as the new manager of the Mayos de Navojoa for the 2026-27 season of the Mexican Pacific League.
The organization confirmed this Thursday the hiring of the former shortstop and winner of the American League Most Valuable Player award in 2002. With this decision, the management is betting on Tejada’s experience and leadership to lead a new stage for the Sonoran team.
Tejada arrives in Navojoa after his performance as a manager in Mexican summer baseball with the Bravos de León, a team that is currently in the top positions of the standings with a positive record of 17 wins and 13 losses.
The Dominican continues to consolidate his career as a manager after several experiences in different leagues. Last winter, he managed the Karachi Monarchs in a Middle Eastern league, and previously he was in charge of the Águilas Cibaeñas in Dominican professional baseball.
Tejada’s arrival comes at a key moment for the Mayos franchise, which will officially return to Navojoa after playing the previous season under the name Tucson Baseball Team and without a fixed venue.
The directive expects the return to southern Sonora to mark the beginning of a new competitive stage for the organization, now led by one of the most recognized figures in Latin American baseball.
With this move, the Mayos seek to strengthen their sports project and regain prominence within the Mexican winter circuit.
