The Philadelphia Phillies are a veteran team with title aspirations. That makes Spring Training a different operation for them than, say, the rebuilding Washing

Spring training is finally here, with the Phillies kicking off their Grapefruit League schedule Saturday afternoon against the Detroit Tigers. But the only way to watch the game is if you have tickets.

As the MLB season quickly approaches, the teams and their players are in Arizona and Florida, perfecting their game as they prepare for the first pitch of the regular season in the Cactus League and the Grapefruit League.

Phillies pitchers and catchers will report on Wednesday, with the rest of the team set to show up five days later. The often-rumored-to-be-traded Alec Bohm will be there.

With players like Tarik Skubal, Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene returning, along with a few offseason additions such as former New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres, there are expectations the team is able to compete in the AL Central once again.

The happiest month in the baseball season is about to begin! That is right, Spring Training is upon us. It's the time of year when fans league-wide flock to Florida and Arizona for the chance to get closer to their favorite players than they ever could during the regular season.
