Commissioner Rob Manfred said earlier Wednesday that several teams have similarly expressed interest, and that the competing clubs -- if the games do take place -- may ultimately come from a lottery system. MLB began exploring the possibility of games in Cuba after the U.S. re-established diplomatic relations with the country last December.
The Mets have not played outside United States and Canadian territory since 2003, when they faced the Dodgers for a pair of exhibition games in Mexico City. But the Mets did face the Marlins for a regular-season series in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in 2010, and played exhibition games against the Blue Jays in Montreal last March.
