Lowell Spinners Baseball

The Lowell Spinners Baseball team is poised to make its return in the summer of 2026 as a member of the Futures Collegiate Baseball League (FCBL), bringing collegiate summer baseball back to LeLacheur Park. Former Red Sox affiliate Lowell Spinners will now compete in a league comprising college players, including notable limited partners such as former MLB outfielder Johnny Damon ([wgbh.org](https://www.wgbh.org/news/local/2025-11-18/lowell-spinners-to-make-return-with-futures-league-in-2026?utm_source=openai)). The ownership group, led by Marc Deschenes as principal owner and chief baseball officer and John Croteau as chairman and CEO, made the announcement during a November 18, 2025, press event at UMass Lowell’s Tsongas Center ([uml.edu](https://www.uml.edu/news/press-releases/2025/spinnersrelease111825.aspx?utm_source=openai)).
