About this listen

 Spring training buzz is building as pitchers and catchers report February 10-13, with Grapefruit and Cactus League games kicking off February 20. The Orioles host the Yankees that day in Sarasota, followed by seven matchups, including Red Sox versus Northeastern and Twins against University of Minnesota. Every team plays February 21, setting the stage for showcase spring action featuring top prospects like Pirates' Konnor Griffin versus Tigers' Kevin McGonigle, and Brewers' Jesús Made against Athletics' Leo De Vries.

In recent exhibition play, the Giants edged the A's 2-1 on February 16 in a tight contest that went to the sixth inning tied before key RBI singles locked it down. Minor league highlight saw Hudson Leach seal a win with his third strikeout on February 16.

Offseason moves continue to shape rosters, with the Yankees-Giants opener on March 25 leading into full Opening Day March 26. Expect debuts from Kyle Tucker with the Dodgers, Pete Alonso for the Orioles, Alex Bregman on the Cubs, and Munetaka Murakami for the White Sox. Giants added rotation depth via Buster Posey with Adrian Houser and Tyler Mahle behind Logan Webb and Robbie Ray. Rangers face uncertainty after top prospect Sebastian Walcott's elbow surgery, potentially sidelining him. Royals pin hopes on moved-in fences at Kauffman Stadium to boost offense, while Blue Jays' Vlad Guerrero Jr. eyes a repeat of their success.

Prospect watch heats up with MLB Pipeline's Top 100 in big-league camps, including Orioles' Basallo and Beavers building on debuts. College baseball opened with eyes on UCLA versus UC San Diego and draft risers like Logan Hughes and Brady Ballinger.
