SPRING TRAINING 2024 🏝️☀️
Feb. 12: Pitchers and Catchers Report
Feb. 14: First workout
Feb. 17: Position Players Report
Feb. 19: First Full Squad Workout
Feb. 24: Grapefruit League Opener
We are just three weeks away from spring training, where all 30 MLB teams are due to report and unofficially start the 2024 MLB season.
It has been one of the more different and odd seasons to date, as currently there are more than 160 free agents still available.
To say it has been a slow offseason thus far, would be a huge understatement.
Many in the industry thought things would pick up after Yoshi Yamamoto signed with the Dodgers a month ago, but that has proven otherwise.
There are plenty of starting pitchers still unsigned, including the National League Cy Young award winner, Blake Snell.
Other than the Dodgers, teams, including the Mets have been visible silent.
While the relief pitching market has picked up lately, again, many pitchers are ripe for the taking, and the Mets could use one or two. More on that in a moment.
On the offensive side, top hitters remain unsigned, including three top designated hitters, in J.D. Martinez, Justin Turner and Jorge Soler.
Simply put, by late January, it is unforseen to have these many players still available and top ones to boot.
Spring Training marks in many, the end of winter and the beginning of spring. It might not be that way in terms of the weather, depending on where you live, but once Spring Training begins and fans see the warm weather and sunny skies on television or social media, it triggers that baseball is back and the warm weather and baseball filled days and nights are not too far behind.
