History
The origins of the Ontario Tower Buzzers trace back to the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, the longtime Single-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Quakes organization moved to a new 6,000-seat stadium in the Ontario Ranch section of Ontario and changed their name to the Ontario Tower Buzzers. [1]
On December 12, 2024, it was announced that the Quakes would continue in 2026 and beyond, with the team switching affiliates with the Inland Empire 66ers, assuming an affiliation with the Los Angeles Angels, at that time. The move consisted of the 2025 Quakes franchise relocating to Ontario and becoming the Tower Buzzers, the current 66ers franchise assuming the location and identity of the Quakes, and a relocated Modesto Nuts team taking over the 66ers’ location and identity. In effect, it made the move a de facto relocation of the Modesto Nuts franchise, rather than the Quakes franchise. The team was sold to Diamond Baseball Holdings, which will own all three teams as well as two other clubs in the eight-team California League. [2]
Following these transactions and league approvals, Major League Baseball confirmed in September 2025 that the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Low-A affiliate would operate in Ontario beginning with the 2026 season under the new Ontario Tower Buzzers identity. The name and visual identity were publicly revealed at a launch event in Ontario Town Square in mid-September 2025. [3] [4]
Ownership and Management
The team will be owned and operated by Diamond Baseball Holdings (DBH), which manages a portfolio of Minor League teams across the United States. Team management announced Allan Benavides as general manager; Benavides joined the organization after a long tenure with other minor league clubs. [5]
