History: The long-standing tradition of the Suns' minor-league baseball team in Jacksonville, which dates to 1962, will undergo a major transformation when the franchise changes its name to the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. Since the Suns began play in Jacksonville as a New Mets Triple-A affiliate from 1962-68 (no minor-league team in 1969), then returned as the Suns in 1970 in the Double-A Southern League, there has been only one previous name change. From 1985 to 1990, the team was known as the Jacksonville Expos during an affiliation with the Montreal Expos, but they returned to the Suns moniker in 1991. The club rebranded as the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp before the 2017 season. In conjunction with Major League Baseball's reorganization of Minor League Baseball in 2021, the Jumbo Shrimp were elevated to the Triple-A East, which was renamed the International League in 2022...
