The “Opening Day” countdown is now under one week. Get hyped, folks. Our final preview week will roll right along today, and if yesterday is any indication, there will be some on the field news as well. Yesterday, we saw the Tigers trade for Alex Gonzalez, the White Sox give Jose Quintana a five-year extension, and Geovany Soto get knocked out for the first two to three months of the season. Also, Scott piggy backed on the Soto injury by looking at the banged up AL West, and the Durham Bulls revealed their amazing jerseys for Star Wars Night.
Here’s your list of televised games today along with probable pitching matchups, assuming rain doesn’t knock out half of the Grapefruit League slate again.
