History

[edit]

In May 2023, Diamond Baseball Holdings bought the Down East Wood Ducks of the Single-A Carolina League and announced that the team would move for the 2025 season to a new ballpark to be built in Spartanburg, South Carolina.[1] Renaming of the team to Hub City Spartanburgers was announced in May 2024.[2] In July 2024, MiLB announced that the team would be promoted to class High-A, joining the South Atlantic League while remaining an affiliate of the Texas Rangers.[3]
