Modesto Nuts moving to San Manuel Stadium in San Bernardino

The Modesto Nuts have played their final game at John Thurman Field and now will make the move to San Bernardino.

Earlier this year, Diamond Baseball Holdings (DBH), the owner of the Inland Empire 66ers, announced they acquired the Nuts, the current Single-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners and plan to have the team play at San Manuel Stadium beginning with the 2026 season.

The 66ers, who play in the California League, have called San Bernardino home since their inaugural season in 1987 and have played at San Manuel Stadium since its opening in 1996.

“Minor League Baseball has been a fixture in San Bernardino for decades and we couldn’t be more excited to continue to be a part of that tradition,” said Pat Battle and Peter Freund, Executive Chairman and CEO of DBH, respectively. “The Mariners have been terrific partners, and we look forward to continuing to build our relationship with them.”

The Mariners have had two prior affiliations with the club in San Bernardino, from 1987-1994, and from 2001-2006.

The move is part of a larger minor-league shuffle with the Dodgers moving their California League affiliate from Rancho Cucamonga to a new $100 million ballpark in Ontario and the Angels’ Class A affiliate returning to Rancho Cucamonga from San Bernardino.
