SAN DIEGO -- Since being hired as president and CEO of the Padres in 2013, Mike Dee has often talked about the significance of reengaging fans in Tijuana and northern Baja California.
The Padres took a notable step forward in that initiative Wednesday, when they announced their commitment to expand outreach and access to fans in Mexico.
"Today's announcements are a continuation of the Padres' renewed commitment to fans in Tijuana and throughout northern Baja California," Dee said during the announcement at the Boys and Girls Club in Tijuana.
"We know we have passionate baseball fans in this region, and it's a priority for our ownership group to be more consistent in our outreach and to create more access and opportunities to connect with fans here.
