MEXICO CITY – At 43 years old, Dominican Robinson Canó continues to demonstrate his passion for baseball, now as one of the outstanding figures of the Diablos Rojos del México in the Mexican Baseball League, where he is in his third season. With a stellar career in Major League Baseball, Canó accumulated important recognitions, including Gold Gloves, multiple All-Star Game appearances, a World Series title, and a Wins Above Replacement (bWAR) of 68.7. At the international level, he also shone by being the Most Valuable Player of the 2013 World Baseball Classic, leading the Dominican Republic to an undefeated victory in the tournament. In Dominican winter baseball, the experienced infielder was also fundamental in the Estrellas Orientales’ championship in 2019, breaking a drought of more than five decades. After a challenging final stage in the Majors, marked by suspensions and poor performance, Cano has revitalized his career since 2024 in Mexico, where he has already won a batting title and two consecutive championships with the Diablos Rojos.
The native of San Pedro de Macorís has become a fan favorite, and was recently a special guest during the Mexico City Series 2026, held at the Alfredo Harp Helú Stadium, home of the Diablos. Canó valued the opportunity for local fans to enjoy Major League Baseball in their country, while also highlighting the growth of the competitive level in the Mexican league. “It’s a great experience for the fans and for us. The league is very good, even better than I expected, and it keeps improving every day,” he said. With his performance and leadership, Cano continues to demonstrate that he still has much to offer to professional baseball, establishing himself as a key figure on and off the field in the Mexican circuit.“Super happy with the treatment I have received from the owners, teammates, and fans,” expressed the Dominican, who batted .431 and .366 in his first two seasons with the scarlet team and maintains a .296 average at the start of the current season.
