Cubs pitchers and catchers will report to spring training in Mesa, Ariz., on Feb. 19, with the first full-squad workout Feb. 25, the team announced Monday.


The Cubs also announced four more spring training games, on March 13-14 against the A's in Las Vegas, and on April 3-4 at Chase Field against the Diamondbacks.

The April 4 game ends spring training and means the Cubs will have no workout at Wrigley Field before their April 5 opener against the Cardinals, Joe Maddon's debut and the first night opener in Cubs history.


The Cubs will open Cactus League play on March 5 with a split-squad game at Cubs Park against the A's and at Scottsdale Stadium against the World Series champion Giants. They will play the White Sox in Glendale, Ariz., on March 20 and at home on March 27.

Meanwhile, work continued Monday at Wrigley Field despite a subzero wind chill, but the chances of the bleachers being ready by opening day appear slim because of early delays in the project.

I'm a Sox fan and have no shortage of interest and cautious optimism for the season. That being said, I can't help but watch with interest the start of the Cubs season. It will be very interesting and I think they will be drastically improved. For the home opener...leave it to major league baseball to schedule a fucking night game in early April in Chicago. Chances of the weather being unbearable.

Delays or no delays, the bleachers will be ready for the opener...there isn't a chance in hell they won't be ready.

The home opener should always be a day game. It's too cold in April to be scheduling a night game. I know the audience will be bigger for a night game, but it's a dumb idea.

You're a dumb idea. Opening Day will be a sellout regardless of what time the game starts.

I look forward to Javier Baez flailing away on his way to the Golden Sombrero against Waino's Uncle Charlie under the lights :drunken:
