The new agreement is a two-year term, taking the partnership through at least 2020 which would mark ten years between the Quakes and Dodgers.
The Quakes, who are headed to the California League Playoffs for the fourth straight year and for the sixth time in eight seasons as a Dodgers' affiliate, finished with the best record in all of the California League (87-53) and have set franchise records for most wins in a single season (87) and most wins in a single half (52). The Quakes have won one championship (2015) while being a Dodgers' affiliate.

It's a great partnership and we're excited to watch former Quakes help the Dodgers get back to the World Series again this year!"
"We are pleased to announce our continued partnership with our full season affiliates," said Director of Player Development Brandon Gomes.
