The Lowell Spinners are a Single-A minor league affiliate of the Boston Red Sox.

Founded in 1996 and based in Lowell, Massachusetts, the Spinners play in the New York - Penn League, which has a short-season A-ball classification with 76 games a year. The Spinners play 38 of the 76 games at their home park, Edward A. LeLacheur Park, in Lowell, near the Merrimack River. The official mascot of the Spinners is The Canaligator.

In 2005, the Spinners offered to pay for the uniforms to all Little Leagues in New England so that they would change all teams named "Yankees" into "Spinners".[1]

Spinners alumni with Major League Baseball experience include Shea Hillenbrand, Casey Fossum, David Eckstein, Adam Everett, Mike Maroth, Kevin Youkilis, Jonathan Papelbon and Lew Ford.

Starting in 2007 WLLH AM 1400 Boston's ESPN Radio affiliate will become the flagship of Lowell Spinner's baseball, after several years on Lowell talk station WCAP Replacing play-by-play announcer Ryan Johnston will be Siena College women's basketball broadcaster Mike Demos.
