The Conspiradores de Querétaro (English: Querétaro Conspirators) are a professional baseball team in the Mexican League based in Huimilpan in the Metropolitan Area of Querétaro. Their home ballpark is the Estadio Finsus, with a capacity of 6,500 people. The team debuted in the 2024 Mexican League season.
The Conspiradores de Querétaro were established on 8 November 2022 and officially presented that same day in Querétaro City. Despite historically hosting several professional sports such as football club Querétaro F.C., basketball team Libertadores de Querétaro and American football team Gallos Negros de Querétaro, Querétaro have never had a professional baseball team.[1][2]
Purple, black and white were chosen as the club's colors and it was announced that the team would start play in 2024 and that a baseball specific stadium would be built to host the Conspiradores. The Conspiradores name references Querétaro's role as a meeting place for early figures in the Mexican independence movement.[3]
In November 2023, the Mexican League held an expansion draft, where the Conspiradores and the Dorados de Chihuahua, the two expansion teams for the 2024 season, picked 18 players from the other Mexican League franchises. Conspiradores selected Matt Clark, Iván Salas and Casey Coleman, amongst others.[4][5]
In February 2024, José Offerman joined the Conspiradores as the team's manager.[6]
