As the calendar flips to 2020 and a new decade begins, so too does the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes affiliation as the Dodgers Advance Single-A affiliate in the prestigious and highly-competitive California League.

To mark this historic anniversary, the Quakes recently unveiled a commemorative logo that will proudly and prominently be used throughout the upcoming 2020 season.

Since signing their initial Player Development Contract with the Dodgers in 2011, the Quakes have experienced an abundance of on-field success, providing Quakes fans the incomparable opportunity to witness a new generation of Dodgers talent. While dozens have gone on to make their MLB debut after the Quakes, standouts include 2019 MLB NL MVP and 2017 NL Rookie of the Year Cody Bellinger (2015), 2016 NL Rookie of the Year Corey Seager (2013-14), and All-Stars Walker Buehler (2017) and Joc Pederson (2012). Recently, all eight Dodgers to debut in 2019, like Gavin Lux (2018) and Will Smith (2016-17), spent time in Rancho within the past three seasons.

In addition to top prospects from one of the most successful farm systems, Quakes fans have seen some of baseball’s biggest names visit LoanMart Field on rehab appearances. These include future Hall-of-Famer Clayton Kershaw, Justin Turner, Kenley Jansen, Kiké Hernández, and former Dodgers Adrian Gonzalez, Matt Kemp, and Andre Ethier.

As the Dodgers Class A – Advanced affiliate, the Quakes have made the postseason in seven of the last nine seasons (2011, 2013, 2015-19), winning California League Championships in 2015 – their first in 21 seasons – and again in 2018.

The 10th season affiliation logo, as well as a celebration of the Quakes partnerships, will be incorporated into Rancho’s promotional schedule and materials throughout the 10th anniversary season. They will also host a “Dodgers Night” during the season with themed jerseys and promotions, but an exact date has yet to be announced.

The Quakes will open up the 2020 season on Thursday, April 9th against Inland Empire 66ers (Angels), although the location and time are yet to be determined, however, ticket packages are on sale now.
