The team was purchased in April 2014 by a group of investors led by Armando Navarro. The team was moved to Guadalajara and began play in the 2014-15 season as the third incarnation of the Charros de Jalisco.
On January 27, 2019, during a rally at the Estadio Francisco Carranza Limón in Guasave, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced that the Algodoneros will return to compete in the Mexican Pacific League beginning in the 2019–20 season. They will be one of two additions to the LMP, with the Sultanes de Monterrey (who also play in the Mexican Baseball League) being the other.[2]
