The Tucson Sidewinders are like an auto parts store that helps keep the Arizona Diamondbacks' high-end luxury vehicle running smoothly. Both sides understand the role. A Triple-A club is there to serve the major-league team. The Diamondbacks and Sidewinders have had a working agreement since 1998, when the old Tucson Toros franchise switched from an affiliation with the Milwaukee Brewers, and moved to TEP Tucson Electric Park from Hi Corbett Field.

In late 2006, it was formally announced that the Tucson Sidewinders, the Toros' successor, would be moving to Reno, Nevada after the 2008 season. The owner of Tucson baseball, Jay Zucker, who owns the naming rights to the Tucson Toros, is considering bringing back the Toros as a part of the Golden Baseball League (GBL). The GBL's Reno Silver Sox could be forced to leave Reno when the Sidewinders move into town, leaving an empty stadium in Tucson.[1]
