History

The Cincinnati Reds previously fielded a Rookie-level team in the Gulf Coast League (GCL) during three tenures (1968–1973, 1984–1990, and 1999–2009) known as the Gulf Coast League Reds.^[2] During 2004–2009, the team played home games at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, Florida.^{[citation needed]}

In 2010, when the major-league Reds moved their spring training headquarters from Florida to Arizona, the Rookie-level team also relocated and became members of the Arizona League (AZL), and were renamed as the Arizona League Reds. The team has competed in Arizona since then.^[2] Prior to the 2021 season, the Arizona League was renamed as the Arizona Complex League (ACL).
