Shanghai Dragons (baseball)

The Shanghai Dragons () are a professional baseball team based in Shanghai, China. The team was established in 2025 as a founding franchise for Chinese Professional Baseball (CPB).

History

The establishment of the Shanghai Dragons was announced during the CPB's first draft in November 2025. Dae-sung Koo, a Korean former pitcher for the New York Mets, was selected as the team's manager and head coach.

Team name controversy

After the CPB's formation was announced, an Internet post depicting a "Shanghai Brothers" team circulated online. The team's logo was shown to include a yellow elephant wearing a baseball cap and holding a bat, nearly identical to the logo of the CTBC Brothers, a baseball team in Taiwan's Chinese Professional Baseball League. Reactions from Taiwanese netizens to the post were critical, with CTBC Bank, the owners of the CTBC Brothers, threatening legal action against CPB. CPB organizers denied claims that the league would include a team called the Shanghai Brothers, stating that the online post did not originate from the league.
