The Shenzhen Bluesox (Chinese: 深圳蓝袜; pinyin: Shēnzhèn Lánwà) are a professional baseball team based in Shenzhen, China. The team was established in 2025 as a founding franchise for Chinese Professional Baseball (CPB) and is a partner of the MLB China Development Center, a youth baseball training and development program, for the CPB Spring League.[2]

History

The establishment of the Shenzhen Bluesox was announced during the CPB's first draft in November 2025. Ray Chang, a Chinese-American former infielder in Minor League Baseball and the Chinese national team, was selected as the team's manager and head coach.[3]

The Bluesox claimed the first victory of the league, beating the Fuzhou Sea Knights 8–1, in CPB's inaugural game on January 1, 2026.[4] The team also won the league's first Spring League championship series, beating the Shanghai Dragons 2–1.[5]
