The Padres and D-backs have "agreed to play a series in Mexico City next summer," with an announcement expected there on Wednesday ( TWITTER.com, 5/20 ). The series would "continue a league-wide trend of international play, as well as a D-backs trend of playing south of the border." The D-backs played two Spring Training games in Monterrey this year against the Rockies, which "marked a league-high 11th time" the team had played in Mexico ( ARIZONASPORTS.com, 5/20 ).
