The largest operator of minor league baseball teams bought the Modesto Nuts and plans to move the team to San Bernardino in 2026.
Baseball has struck out in Modesto. The largest operator of minor league baseball teams bought the Modesto Nuts and plans to move the team to San Bernardino in 2026, the Nuts announced Thursday. Modesto has fielded a California League team since 1946. The move helps create a mecca of minor league baseball in the Inland Empire, with three California League teams set to play within 25 miles come 2026 — and with all three teams now owned by Diamond Baseball Holdings.
The Nuts name, which inspired “Go Nuts!” chants and honored a Central Valley that produces almost all the almonds, walnuts and pistachios in the United States, will remain in Modesto, for a city without a team. In 2021, Major League Baseball took over the minor leagues and eliminated 43 teams affiliated with MLB teams, including the one in Lancaster. MLB also mandated facility standards for the remaining 120 teams, often at significant expense to host cities. DBH now owns 41 of those teams.
