Águilas were first established during the 2014—15 Probeis season, after a previous team in Panama City, the Diablos Rojos de Panamá, folded.[1] They debuted under manager Raúl Domínguez, a coach in the New York Yankees organization, with the franchise's first game played on December 15, 2014 against the Indios de Urracá, at the Estadio Omar Torrijos in Santiago de Veraguas.[2] Águilas were runners-up in their inaugural season, as well as in 2015–16, 2018–19, and 2023–24.[3]
In its early years, Águilas was made up of a young core of future Major League Baseball prospects, including Edmundo Sosa, Jonathan Araúz, and Ramón Laureano.[4][5]
Águilas Metropolitanas won its first league championship in the 2024–25 season, advancing to the final series despite a 9-12 regular season record, and defeating the Atlánticos de Bocas Del Toro in five games.[6] The team advanced to the inaugural Serie de las Américas in Nicaragua, which it won after defeating the Leones de León.[7]
