The Venezuelan Summer League Red Sox, sometimes called the VSL Red Sox,[a] were a Minor League Baseball affiliate of the Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball (MLB), playing in the foreign Venezuelan Summer League (VSL). The team, classed as a Rookie League franchise, operated between 1999 and 2005. The VSL itself operated from 1997 to 2015.
During most seasons the team operated, it was a cooperative between the Red Sox and one or two other MLB teams. When the team was listed in Red Sox media guides (2003–2005),[1][2][3] it was simply referred to as the "VSL Red Sox", although other sources show the team operated under several different names.
