Florida Fire Frogs
The Florida Fire Frogs are a minor league baseball team that plays as a member of the Florida State League and is currently based in North Port, Florida. Until 2020, they were based in Kissimmee, Florida, part of the Greater Orlando metropolitan area. Founded in 2017, the team is the Class A-Advanced affiliate of the Atlanta Braves. They currently play their home games at CoolToday Park, having previously played at Osceola County Stadium.
History
The team's name was announced on October 26, 2016, at the conclusion of a name-the-team contest. The finalists from which the team's name was selected were: Florida Dragonflies, Florida Fire Frogs, Florida Mud Kickers, Florida Rodeo Clowns, Florida Sorcerers, and Florida Toucans.The team is the relocation of the Brevard County Manatees.
In May 2019, the team accepted a half-million-dollar buyout from Osceola County to leave at the end of the 2019 season. The stadium will be redeveloped as part of a training complex at Osceola Heritage Park for Orlando City SC of Major League Soccer.
In December 2019, the Fire Frogs' co-owner expressed an interest in returning the franchise to Brevard County. Their previous home of Space Coast Stadium is not available. Coastal Florida Sports Park was a possibility, but not until 2021. Its future was further called into question when it was included in a list of teams that may be folded as part of reorganization of Minor League Baseball after the 2020 season.
On January 16, 2020, the Braves announced that the Fire Frogs would play at their new spring training facility, CoolToday Park in North Port, for the 2020 season.
