The Senadores de San Juan (lit. San Juan Senators) was a professional baseball team based in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The Senadores club was founded in 1938 and played intermittently in the Liga de Béisbol Profesional de Puerto Rico, the predecessor to the current Liga de Béisbol Profesional Roberto Clemente.
For the 1984–1985 season, they were rechristened as the Metros de San Juan, a name that they conserved until the 1993–1994 tournament. The team was sold in 2004 and subsequently relocated to Arecibo. In 2010 they returned to San Juan.
The franchise won eight league titles in its storied history, and also claimed the 1995 Caribbean Series championship, with an undefeated record of 6–0, under manager Luis Meléndez.
The Senadores de San Juan were expelled for the 2011-12 season, but have since continued to play.[1]
