===Collegiate Summer Baseball===
The team was purchased from the City in 2003 by [[Bob Bavasi]] of [[Bavasi Sports Partners]] and local auto dealer [[Don McCullough]] (1936–2005) and began 2003 season play as a summer collegiate wood-bat team as it remains to this day.

The ball club played the 2003 and 2004 seasons in the [[California Collegiate League]].

In 2005, the Gold Sox became the host team for the [[Horizon Air Summer Series]], a collegiate wood bat league created by Bob Bavasi.

Prior to the 2005 season, Don McCullough died. Upon McCullough's death, [[Peter Bavasi]], former General Manager of the [[San Diego Padres]], President of the [[Toronto Blue Jays]] and [[Cleveland Indians]], came out of retirement to help administer the club for the 2005 and 2006 seasons.

On January 1, 2007, Bob Bavasi invited [[Fair Oaks, California|Fair Oaks]] attorney [[Tom Lininger]] and his wife [[Karyn]] to join in the ownership of the club as majority shareholders. The team was renamed the '''Marysville Gold Sox''' in 2010.  Tom Lininger became the team's managing partner and sold the team after the 2014 season.

In 2015, the organization was sold to CSH Holdings, Pat Gillick, Kevin Knight and Jake Knight. In 2016, the team moved to the [[Great West League]] which played a balanced schedule home and away.  The League and team conduct operations like a class A short season minor league baseball team (examples: New York-Penn League and Northwest League).  The ownership group hired veteran general manager Michael Mink to handle the operation in November 2016.

On November 6, 2017, the Gold Sox management announced that they were reverting the team name back to the '''Yuba-Sutter Gold Sox''' after the originally-named professional team.

On October 4, 2018, the Gold Sox announced that they are considering options for 2019 and beyond as a result of the Great West League suspending operations.<ref>[http://goldsox.com/news/index.html?article_id=363 STATEMENT ON FUTURE OF GOLD SOX], Yuba-Sutter Gold Sox website, October 4, 2018</ref>  On November 15, 2018, the Gold Sox announced that they would cease operations if new ownership was not found.<ref>[http://goldsox.com/news/?article_id=365 GOLD SOX TO CEASE OPERATIONS UNLESS NEW OWNERSHIP IS FORMED], Gold Sox website, November 15, 2018</ref>

====Golden State Collegiate Baseball League (2019)====
In 2019, a new local group, YCM Baseball Group, LLC, led by local agricultural entrepreneur Al Montna, purchased the Gold Sox and became members of the [[Golden State Collegiate Baseball League]] joining former GWL rivals the [[Medford Rogues (Great West League)|Medford Rogues]].

====Montna Farms Summer Series (2020-2022)====
In 2020, the Gold Sox season in the GSCBL was cancelled due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].  As a result, they helped create a smaller short-season league known as the Sierra Central-Montna Farms Summer Series.  The Gold Sox were the inaugural champions defeating the [[Lincoln Potters]] (Note: The Potters are members of the CCL and did not know or agree to be a part of the Montna Farms Summer Series).  The Series launched its second season in 2021, which they named themselves champions once again.  In 2022, the series name was shortened to the [[Montna Farms Summer Series]].  Also in 2022, the Gold Sox joined the [[Bay Area Collegiate League]].
