Arizona Winter League Ceases Operations

The Arizona Winter League will cease operations and will no longer host their annual showcase baseball league in Yuma, AZ. The AWL was a showcase league for free agent baseball players who were interested in becoming professional players or advancing their professional careers. The AWL’s inaugural season was in 2007 where the league also played games at Palm Springs Stadium in Palm Springs, CA. After their 2012 season, the league went dark before moving operations to Texas and operating as the Texas Winter League. In 2015, the AWL returned to the backfields at the Desert Sun Stadium complex for its 2015 thru 2018 seasons.
