The Mexican Pacific League opened up their 2015 season last week and three New York Yankees minor league prospects are on the rosters of three of the eight teams in the league. The Mexican Pacific League is one of four leagues that make up the Caribbean Leagues and meet in January for the annual Caribbean Series where they are joined by a team representing Cuba.
