Sources say Bobby Brett, who already owns the High Desert Mavericks and other teams in the Northwest League and West Coast League, will be buying the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes and shedding the Mavs soon after.
Sources say Bobby Brett, who already owns the High Desert Mavericks (High Class A; California League) and other teams in the Northwest League and West Coast League, will be buying the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes (High Class A; California League) from Hank Stickney and shedding the Mavs.
The Mavs were one of the two franchises slated to move from the California League to the Carolina League. With that shift dead for now, Brett apparently is still going ahead with the purchase, which was in negotiations even when the franchise shift was on.
Brett Sports also owns the Spokane Indians(short season; Northwest League), the Tri-City Dust Devils (short season; Northwest League) and the Bellingham Bells (summer collegiate; West Coast League).
