This Sod Poodles team is a very young franchise, not playing their first game until 2019. Back then it was the Double A team of the San Diego Padres, who had been playing as the San Antonio Missions until 2019.
But a new San Antonio Missions was to appear as a Triple A team, the former Colorado Springs Sky Sox, attached to the Milwaukee Brewers, so the original Missions moved to Amarillo and became the Sod Poodles.
The happy marriage with the Padres didn’t last long and after the cancelled minor league season in 2020 and the overhaul, the Diamondbacks exchanged the Jackson Generals for the Amarillo Sod Poodles.
