Major League Baseball’s decision to start the season in late March pushes up the beginning of the Cactus League season once again.
This year’s schedule of games in Arizona begins Feb. 21 and runs through March 26.
That means pitchers and catchers are reporting earlier, and since we’re still a ways away from the actual start of spring, temperatures are only expected to be in the 60s for the next couple of weeks in the Valley of the Sun.
That’s good news for Cubs fans who want to get a ticket for one of the spring training games.
