With the baseball season freshly concluded - the Royals aren't even finished parading through Kansas City - teams are already starting to look ahead to next spring. The Phillies and their slew of young players, along with the first overall draft pick and top waiver wire positioning, should have at the very least a highly developmental offseason, though there does not seem to be a big free agent signing on the horizon.
Nevertheless, it will be a different crew - and Ryan Howard, probably - that gathers in Clearwater in March 2016, and today the Phillies released the schedule that will dictate their preseason.
