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.{{cite web |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/affiliate.cgi?id=CIN |title=Cincinnati Reds Minor League Affiliates |website=Baseball-Reference.com |accessdate=June 28, 2021}} During 2004–2009, the team played home games at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, Florida.{{cn|date=June 2021}}
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. Prior to the 2021 season, the Arizona League was renamed as the Arizona Complex League (ACL).
