The name was changed to "Sidewinders" after a name the team contest was held. With the coming of the Diamondbacks, a new ballpark was needed for spring training in Tucson, since the Colorado Rockies used Hi Corbett Field.

Tucson Electric Park was built, and became the spring training site for the both the D'backs and the Chicago Orange Sox. This ended minor league baseball history at Hi Corbett Field. Many changes took place between and - a new name, new affiliation, newly expanded league, new owner, new general manager and new venue - resulting in disgruntled fans and lower than expected attendance.

Financial arrangements between team owners and Pima County were also the subject of criticism. Since purchasing the team in , owner Jay Zucker has attempted to improve the situation with a variety of promotions, including weekly fireworks. These efforts have met with limited success. The team has been very successful as a supplier of major league-quality players to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Many individual Sidewinders have performed admirably in mid-season call-ups, sometimes returning to the major league club time and again as needed.

This has earned the Sidewinders the nickname "Baby 'Backs. The Tucson Toros have a one year player development contract with the Milwaukee Brewers , filling the gap between the end of the Toros' contract with Houston and the beginning of the team's affiliation with the expansion Diamondbacks.

Diamondbacks prospect Travis Lee plays in Tucson for part of the season.
