The Mayos de Navojoa (English: Navojoa Mayos) were a professional baseball team in the Mexican Pacific League (LMP), based in Navojoa, Sonora. Founded in 1959, the franchise relocated to Tucson, Arizona before the 2025-26 season, and became the first team in the LMP to be based in the United States.[2][3]
Mayos were champions of the league twice. The first time was for the 1978–79 season, with Rickey Henderson on the roster and Chuck Goggin (USA) as coach. The next time was for the 1999–2000 season, with Lorenzo Bundy (USA) as manager.
