"The Los Angeles Dodgers start reporting for Spring Training on Friday, February 13th, when the pitchers and catchers officially get ready for the upcoming season. The Dodgers are eyeing a three-peat this season, a feat that will require a roster - which the team has - that comes together and plays as a unit. Spring ball is the start of this melding, the first time the whole team, including players on the outskirts of the 40-man roster, comes together."
"This year, however, the World Baseball Classic will also be held in the spring, creating a tricky situation for manager Dave Roberts. The Dodgers have multiple players taking part in the tournament, meaning they will miss spring training and leave early before returning for the start of the season. The WBC pool play featuring Dodgers players stars on March 5th, and the action can extend until March 17 for some players who make it to the final."
The Los Angeles Dodgers begin Spring Training on February 13 with pitchers and catchers reporting first. The team aims for a three-peat and expects roster cohesion during spring ball as the entire group assembles, including fringe 40-man players. The World Baseball Classic overlaps spring camp, with several Dodgers participating and missing portions of training. WBC pool play begins March 5 and can run to March 17 for finalists. Manager Dave Roberts must manage early departures and returns. Key spring dates include the first full-squad workout on Feb 17, Cactus League opener on Feb 21, and Team Japan workouts on Feb 27.
