Are there any minor league baseball teams in Arizona besides Triple A Tucson??? EXCLUDING Arizona Fall League teams, I'm talking about minor league teams that play during the summer.

There is the Arizona Rookie League. It is considered a low-pressure learning environment for players that are recently drafted and brought over from the Dominican and Venezuela Summer Leagues. The Cubs, Mariners, Padres, A's, Brewers, Giants, Rangers, Royals, and Angels all have affiliates playing. The season typically begins in late June and goes through late August. Most teams play in their affiliate's spring training complex. Attendance if free.

There's a minor league team from the Golden Baseball League (independent) at Yuma. That league had others in the past at Surprise and Mesa. But, those teams folded.

Yes, I believe the "Arizona League" is a minor league team, sub triple A.

Yes, it is not really considered A Ball, it is more considered Rookie Ball, Then you start getting into the Short, Low and Advance, then that is basically the start to the A, AA, AAA and then the MLB.

Nope, the Sidewinders are it. And apparently they could be moving to Reno.
