History
The origins of the Ontario Tower Buzzers reach back to the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, the longtime Single-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Rancho Cucamonga California League franchise was relocated to the Ontario Ranch section of Ontario, California, to play at ONT Field, a new 6,000-seat ballpark, as the Ontario Tower Buzzers. [1] The name and visual identity were publicly revealed at a launch event in Ontario Town Square in mid-September 2025. [2] [3]
This move was one in a series of changes involving three teams. The Inland Empire 66ers of San Bernardino relocated to Rancho Cucamonga to play as the Quakes in affiliation with the Los Angeles Angels. Additionally, the Modesto Nuts relocated from Modesto to San Bernardino to continue as the 66ers in affiliation with the Seattle Mariners. In effect, it made the move a de facto relocation of the Nuts franchise, rather than the Quakes franchise. Diamond Baseball Holdings owns all three teams as well as two other clubs in the eight-team California League. [4]
Ownership and management
The team will be owned and operated by Diamond Baseball Holdings, which manages a portfolio of Minor League Baseball 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]
