After 4 titles in 8 years, Ricardo Martínez felt it was time to move on and sold the team to Manuel Ortega. Ortega was born in a small border town called Tijuana, of barely 20 thousand inhabitants. Ortega is the owner of the successful Bar Sol de Tijuana. He opened the bar at the perfect time, with Tijuana growing from a small town in the middle of nowhere, into a hub for tourism and border commerce as the neighboring town of San Diego grew from 70 thousand to just over 200 thousand in the span of 20 years. With business on both sides of the border, Ortega should be able to keep the team afloat financially as they focus on winning more titles, though he's not expected to make any big investments into the club yet.
