The end of January is upon us. While pitchers and catchers reporting date isn’t especially easy to find since I think a lot of it hasn’t been set, but the first spring training game is four weeks from tomorrow, theoretically. I’m just making stuff up here, but I feel like they need about two weeks to sort out all the personnel things like free agents and trades. And if you think that’s not the case, we saw what happened with the signing frenzy when the players wanted to get their contracts figured out before the lockout. I think it’s also fair to assume they don’t need all the spring games they have scheduled.
