The Modesto Nuts are a Minor League Baseball team of the California League and the Single-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. They are located in Modesto, California, and are named for the several types of nuts grown in the Central Valley. They play their home games at John Thurman Field, which opened in 1955.

The Nuts adopted their current name in 2005 after the team's affiliation with the Oakland Athletics ended. Before then, the team was known as the Modesto Athletics (or A's) from 1975 to 2004. The club was also known as the Modesto Reds (1966–1974 and 1946–1961) and Modesto Colts (1962–1964).

The Nuts were expected to leave Modesto following the 2024 season after the city and the Seattle Mariners were unable to come to terms on who would pay for ballpark improvements mandated by Major League Baseball. However, a deal was reached to keep the team in Modesto through at least the 2025 season; following the end of the 2024 season, the Mariners sold the team to Diamond Baseball Holdings, who immediately announced that the 2025 season would be the last for the Modesto Nuts, and for the 2026 season, as part of a shuffle of Diamond-owned team relocations, the Nuts franchise would relocate to San Bernardino as a new incarnation of the Inland Empire 66ers.
