I propose that we merge Tucson Toros into this article, in a format similar to Iowa Cubs. The two articles have a significant amount of overlap, since they describe the same team before and after a re-naming. We should streamline them into one article to avoid covering the same ground twice, taking care to retain enough of the visual content from the Toros article (pics, logos) to ensure that we document the former identity.

Two different franchises I don't think they should be. Maybe after the move to Reno next year but not now. ~ Unknown
I disagree that the Toros and Sidewinders articles be merged. They should be kept seperate. According to what I read, Jay Zucker not only owns the current Sidewinders team in the PCL, but also owns the naming rights to the "Toros". As the history indicates, both teams are different. The word is that the current Reno Silver Sox of the Golden Baseball League will relocate to Tucson and be renamed the Toros. I think the Mesa Miners article should be merged with the Silver Sox article, but not the Toros and Sidewinders. Ccwstandard ( talk) 18:01, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

While there is some overlap between the Toro and Sidewinder artciles, I don't believe that merging them is the solution. Even though the Sidewinders claim that their lineage goes back to the Toros, the fact of the matter is that they are two distinct entities. The Toros were Tucson's baseball, yet the city never took to the Sidewinders. The Toros played at Hi-C, and the Sidewinders played at TEP. The Toros were (mostly) the Astros' PCL team, but the Sidewinders were always the D-Backs' PCL team. Ask yourself, if these teams are one and the same, why was the decision made to terminate the Toros after almost 30 years and begin new with the Sidewinders? |
