TBGKon Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Couldn't find an old thread, but with possible changes on the horizon in minor league baseball (affiliated or not), figured it might be worth adding. We have some news that the Texas Rangers affiliates in the High A South Atlantic League and the Low A Carolina League will swap places in 2025.

TBGKon Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 In news from earlier in the month, Modesto will not have affiliated baseball in 2025. Interesting that San Bernardino is where the Inland Empire 66ers play currently, not sure whats going on but there may be some shifts in the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been following the situation in Modesto, and while San Bernardino is the likely landing spot, nothing has been confirmed as of yet. FWIW I’ve also read that the Visalia Rawhide (also in the California League) and Eugene Emeralds (in the Northwest League) are in similar situations, but I haven’t really heard much about them either. The MLB takeover of MiLB continues to look worse for the fans with each passing day.

I thought I saw a while back that someone was looking at moving one of the California teams to Ontario, but Rancho Cucamonga is 6 miles away Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the facility standards and expectations go into effect after 2024 or 2025, and if certain details aren't in the works there could be some shifting soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the Nuts will be staying, at least for next year. https://www.newsbreak.com/fox40-1589919/3576649540620-modesto-nuts-gets-another-year-of-play-with-city-council-decision 1 1 Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Lost in this Modesto/Inland Empire shuffle is what the Angels would end up doing since they're the current 66ers partner and San Bernardino's a perfect geographic fit for them (not that the Angels actually care about their farm system in any semblance). The only option I could see if the lease extension in Modesto fails would be to somehow resurrect the Lancaster JetHawks or the High Desert Mavericks.

Lancasters stadium is being converted to a soccer stadium. The stadium in Adelanto I believe is mostly abandoned at this point. 1 Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a bit surprised at this point that they haven't bought a minor league baseball team in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
