While its name remains a mystery for now, the question of who will run Spartanburg's new baseball team has been answered.
Diamond Baseball Holdings has announced that Tyson Jeffers will be the General Manager of the new ball club in Spartanburg. The company purchased a single-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, earlier this year.
The group is set to move the team to a brand new stadium being built in Spartanburg. Jeffers previously served as the GM of the Hudson Valley Renegades, an affiliate of the New York Yankees.
Diamond Baseball says the name and logo for the new team will be unveiled at a later date. The club is expected to make "Sparkle City" home in 2025.
The new 3,500 seat ballpark in Downtown Spartanburg is part of the largest development project in the city's history, which has a total price tag of over 400 million.
