Those four sweet words — “pitchers and catchers report” — now have a date assigned to them for 2016.
The official report date for Dodger pitchers and catchers to Camelback Ranch is February 19, followed by the first official workout the following day.
Position players are due to report February 24, though many begin trickling in earlier. The first full-squad workout is February 25.
The Dodgers’ first Spring Training game will be with their Camelback Ranch neighbors, the Chicago White Sox, on March 3. Opening Day for the 2016 regular season is April 4 at San Diego, with the home opener April 12.

Hi, Jon,
Any word yet on when the minor league guys report?
Happy Holidays,

Sure has been a disappointing off season. Just saw that Cueto is going to sign with the Giants. Hope things are looking different (and brighter) come March/April.

I seriously dispute the characterization of pitchers and catchers reporting as “four sweet words” at this point. Now that Cueto is joining Samardzija in San Francisco that makes three of the top 6 free agent starting pitchers who have joined divison rivals this offseason. All this blog has had to talk about about during winter meetings is Dodgers’ good will trip to Cuba, Dodgers’ Christmas plans, and Dave Roberts ping-pong game.
