MLB SPRING TRAINING OPENS THIS WEEKEND

Spring training camps for Major League Baseball’s 30 teams are opening this weekend in Florida and Arizona. The Cleveland Indians were the first team to open camp in Arizona last Thursday at their new digs in Goodyear (near Phoenix). Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox were getting things going the same day at their Fort Myers, Florida spring home.


The westward exodus among MLB teams continues this spring. The Los Angeles Dodgers have moved from their decades-long training home of Vero Beach, Florida to the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, while the Indians also moved from Florida to Arizona, which is now the spring home of 14 MLB teams as franchises leave the iffy southeastern climate for the warm and arid southwest.
