Three months ago, Los Angeles Dodgers minority owner Peter Guber, who also owns the Golden State Warriors, purchased Oklahoma City’s Triple-A baseball franchise from Mandalay Baseball Properties.

Oklahoma City’s new nickname will be officially unveiled when the RedHawks host “Dodger Day” during the lunch hour Wednesday at the Mickey Mantle plaza in front of Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.

Bill Shaikin, the Los Angeles Times national baseball writer, confirmed the new nickname Tuesday night on Twitter.

Oklahoma City’s new baseball team will be called the Dodgers.

At the Sept. 17 press conference, Guber confirmed The Oklahoman’s original story that the Dodgers were moving their Triple-A affiliate from Albuquerque to Oklahoma City.

Guber said three months ago a nickname change was likely since RedHawks didn’t fit the “Dodger Blue” image that dates back to when the franchise originally was located in Brooklyn.

At Wednesday’s event, scheduled from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., fans can purchase souvenirs like hats and T-shirts that will feature the team’s new logo and nickname inside the team store.

Dodger representatives attending on Wednesday include former Texas Ranger outfielder Gabe Kapler, the Dodgers’ new Director of Player Development, and outfielder Scott Schebler, who is projected to play in Oklahoma City in 2015 after leading the Southern League with 28 home runs last year in Double-A.
