Feb. 6-17: Pitchers and catchers report to spring training. Here’s a handy list of reporting dates for each MLB team’s pitchers/catchers and full squads

Feb. 25: Yankees scrimmage Florida St. Univ.; Tigers scrimmage Florida Southern Univ.

Feb. 26: First official Cactus League, Grapefruit League games

March 22-23: Opening series (two games) in Sydney, Australia; Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks*

*Keep in mind that these are official regular-season games, so if you want the stats to count in your league, you're going to have to draft earlier than usual this spring. First pitch for Game 1 on March 22 is listed as 7:15 p.m. local time, which is 4:15 a.m. ET on Saturday. To get credit for stats from these games, you'll want to draft during the week leading up to the 22nd, possibly as early as the previous weekend (March 15-16). Otherwise, you can skip these two games altogether and give yourself another two weekends to draft.

March 30: Opening Night, Dodgers at Padres

March 31: Opening Day
