The '''Arizona Complex League Reds''' are a [[Rookie-level]] affiliate of the [[Cincinnati Reds]], competing in the [[Arizona Complex League]] of [[Minor League Baseball]]. The team plays its home games at [[Goodyear Ballpark]] in [[Goodyear, Arizona]]. The team is composed mainly of players who are in their first year of [[professional baseball]] either as [[Major League Baseball draft|draftees]] or non-drafted [[free agents]] from the [[United States]], [[Canada]], [[Dominican Republic]], [[Venezuela]], [[Cuba]], [[Japan]], and other countries.

==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'''.<ref name=br>{{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}}</ref> During 2004–2009, the team played home games at [[Ed Smith Stadium]] in [[Sarasota, Florida]].{{citation needed|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.<ref name=br/> Prior to the 2021 season, the Arizona League was renamed as the [[Arizona Complex League]] (ACL).
