According to the AA website, there is a $30 fee for my bag if I fly economy class and pay cash for my ticket on flights to and from Mexico from the USA. Is the baggage fee also charged if I use my frequent flyer miles for the ticket, at the mileage saver rate? (Baggage fees for award travel.)

I have no AA Status.

(I spent a half hour googling this question and got nowhere.)
No need to google, just look it up on the AA.com site
If there is no exception for your category to the fees listed, then you pay the fees listed.
No exception based on it being an economy award ticket.
