The Modesto Nuts were a Minor League Baseball team of the California League, most recently the Single-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. They were located in Modesto, California, and were named for the several types of nuts grown in the Central Valley. They played their home games at John Thurman Field, which opened in 1955.

The team was known as the Modesto Athletics (or A's) from 1975 to 2004. The club was also known as the Modesto Reds (1966–1974 and 1946–1961) and Modesto Colts (1962–1964).

The Nuts were expected to leave Modesto following the 2024 season after the city and the Mariners were unable to agree on paying for ballpark improvements that Major League Baseball required. However, a deal was reached to keep the team in Modesto through at least the 2025 season. After the 2024 season, the Mariners sold the team to Diamond Baseball Holdings, who immediately announced that the 2025 season would be the last in Modesto. For the 2026 season, as part of a shuffle of Diamond-owned team relocations, the Nuts franchise will relocate to San Bernardino as a new incarnation of the Inland Empire 66ers.
