PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — It feels like baseball season, just ended (that’s because it did), but the thought is already crossing our minds as the Phillies announced their 2016 Spring Training Schedule on Tuesday.
Pitchers and catchers will have their first workout on Thursday, February 18 and the full squad will begin workouts the following week on Tuesday, February 23.
This upcoming spring will be the 70th that the Phillies are spending in Clearwater, Fl.
The Phillies will get their first work against an opponent on February 28 against the University of Tampa. The team will then face the Blue Jays in the Grapefruit League opener on March 1.
