The Dodgers are set to begin Cactus League play on Feb. 21 against the Los Angeles Angels at Tempe Diablo Stadium. While it may seem like the Dodgers just became back-to-back champions, spring camp is already around the corner.
That appears to be the price the Dodgers will have to pay for being the defending champions.
The spring is a time of excitement for fans, especially since the casual nature of camp provides them with an up close look at their favorite players and new ones arriving to the Dodgers' facility in Glendale, Ariz.
The standard operating procedure in MLB is pitchers and catchers reporting first, with position players arriving a few days later. Now, those dates have been confirmed.
There are several questions that need to be answered by the Dodgers this spring, and those decisions will also be affected by the remaining offseason moves made by LA's front office in the coming weeks.
The Dodgers have made just three big league signings this winter, with Miguel Rojas returning on a one-year deal, Edwin Diaz joining LA on a three-year, $69 million deal, and infielder Andy Ibañez signing a one-year contract.
The defending champions are reportedly one of three teams to have made an offer to top free agent Kyle Tucker, and he's expected to make a decision soon. Tucker's situation will determine what the Dodgers do next, but their approach in free agency of "hanging around the backboard" remains the same.
