The Opener: Pitchers And Catchers, Cardinals, Kershaw
Briefly

As Spring Training begins, teams are hosting their first workouts for pitchers and catchers, which is crucial for roster decisions and health assessments. The Cardinals are awaiting arbitration results for players Brendan Donovan and Lars Nootbaar, with salaries in dispute. Meanwhile, teams have seen mixed outcomes in arbitration, and the Dodgers' agreement with Clayton Kershaw is anticipated to become official. This period sets the stage for roster movements and player status leading up to the regular season, which starts soon in Tokyo.
"With the start of Spring Training, these clubs also unlock access to the 60-day injured list for roster maneuvering purposes, while club officials figure to offer health updates on players as they begin to trickle into camp."
"Decisions on the cases of both Donovan and his teammate Lars Nootbaar, who went to a hearing against the Cards last week, are expected today."
