Key Dates for the Cincinnati Reds in February
After successfully navigating the initial month of the year, February has arrived, bringing with it the anticipation of the upcoming baseball season. Within the next fortnight, pitchers and catchers will assemble in Goodyear, Arizona, with some players already present, eager to gain a head start.
Pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report on February 13th, marking the commencement of the on-field workout the following day, Wednesday, February 14th. Shortly thereafter, on Sunday, February 18th, position players are expected to join. The first full squad workout is slated for the subsequent day, Monday the 19th.
The inaugural spring game is set for Saturday, February 24th, continuing the tradition of facing Cleveland at Goodyear Ballpark, with Cincinnati assuming the “visiting” role. While the spring training schedule is available, television and radio schedules remain pending, with updates to follow as additional broadcasts are confirmed, typically through MLB Network or regional sports networks.
The Caribbean Series, beginning in Miami, Florida, shortly after this article’s publication, will feature teams representing Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Curacao, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, and Panama. A round-robin format will determine the four-team playoff on February 8th, followed by championship and third-place games on the 9th. ESPN+ and ESPN Deportes will broadcast all the games, accessible through the complete schedule provided.
Regarding participation in the Caribbean Series, Reds prospect Hector Rodriguez, having secured the Dominican Winter League Rookie of the Year award and ranking fourth in OPS, has been added to the Dominican roster. As of now, he seems to be the sole representative from the Cincinnati Reds, be it a major or minor leaguer. However, numerous former Reds, both major leaguers and prospects, are featured on other team rosters.
