Well, it’s official – the Dodgers spring training schedule is now live. The Dodgers posted their schedule via press release on mlb.com. There’s a lot of “tentative” and “likely” sprinkled through it, so I’m guessing that there is more detail to come.
Two interesting notes:
1. The Dodgers are pushing for an exhibition game in Beijing against the San Diego Padres on March 15 and 16. Not sure how all the travel and jetlag will affect the spring performance of the team.
2. The Dodgers will be headed to Arizona and work out of the Oakland facility (Phoenix Municipal Stadium). They will host the Chicago White Sox on March 20th. The Dodgers are, of course, headed to Glendale Arizona for Spring Training 2009.
Here is the entire schedule, straight from the Dodgers:
