Metro Phoenix ballparks are preparing for spring training baseball to start on schedule, despite pleas to delay the season made by the Cactus League and a coalition of Valley mayors.
After they sent a letter to Major League Baseball and asked the organization to pump the brakes, MLB proposed delaying the season by one month. The players union in response said it is ready to proceed with spring training on schedule, with pitchers and catchers reporting on Feb. 17 and the planned slate of games.
The MLB on Friday released an updated schedule, saying games will start on Feb. 28 and run through March.

TRACKING THE COVID-19 VACCINE
Crews Wednesday morning removed a Miller Park sign at the home of the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Rockies are tentatively scheduled to kick off spring training games in 39 days. We don’t know for sure if the schedule will start on time, but we can yearn for warmer days ahead as we look out the window and wait for spring.
The Rockies were able to play 17 spring training games last year. They played a game in eight of the 10 Cactus League venues. The last game that allowed a Rockies fan in attendance was on March 10 against the Cincinnati Reds, as the COVID-19 shutdown came shortly after. The 2021 slate will again be abnormal, and if MLB takes the lead of other pro teams in Phoenix, there is a good chance Cactus League games will be closed to the public this year. Double-A and Single-A teams will see their schedules delayed, which means the spring training backfields won’t be as populated as normal. There is a good chance spectators won’t be allowed on backfields at all, given the provisions that called for the minor league halt.
