[edit] History

Prior to their four year stint as the Vermont Reds, this franchise was know as the Lynn Sailors from 1980 to 1983 and served as the Double-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners (1980 to 1982) and Pittsburgh Pirates (1983).

In 1984, owner Mike Agganis moved the Lynn Pirates from Lynn, Massachusetts to Burlington, and Aggis signed a four-year agreement with the Cincinnati Reds. The club was renamed the Vermont Reds.^[1]

After the stint as the Vermont Reds, the franchise again served as the Double-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners in 1988, becoming the Vermont Mariners. Today, the franchise is the Double-A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians and is known as the Akron Aeros.
