In 2021, a new minor-league alignment created several changes across baseball. Some minor-league teams were shut down. Others were able to align themselves with new major-league clubs, often for geographical purposes. The Red Sox long-time Short-Season A affiliate in Lowell (the Spinners) was one of the teams eliminated.

How long have they been the affiliate? Salem, a suburb of Roanoke, has been an affiliate of the Boston Red Sox since the 2009 season. From 2009 until the 2021 minor-league realignment, they were the organization’s High-A affiliate. Since 2021, they have been the Low-A affiliate of the Red Sox.

The team has jumped around quite a bit going back to 1955 when they began as an Appalachian League affiliate of the Pirates. They have had three separate stints with the Pirates (1955-1959, 1964-1980, and 1987-1994). They have been a part of the Carolina League since 1968. Salem was also an affiliate of the Giants, Padres, Rangers, Rockies, and Astros before joining the Red Sox. Obviously, they weren’t called the “Red Sox” until 2009. They have been called the Rebels, Pirates, Redbirds, Buccaneers, and Avalanche over their history.

Name Change!
In early November of 2025, ownership announced a name change. This affiliate is now called the Salem RidgeYaks. The organization said that "the new name, look, and mascot celebrate the region's outdoor adventure, community pride, and connection to the Blue Ridge Mountains.
