Pitchers and catchers report.
Spring training signals that winter and cold weather soon will be gone, and ahead are sunshine, warmth, hope, grass as green as a highway sign and road trips to and across Florida and Arizona. It means school will be out before long, summer vacations will commence and the wonderful rhythm of a baseball season will begin.
And yet, right now, it doesn t feel right. It doesn t feel like spring training. Mostly because of COVID-19, which makes many inside and outside the sport wonder whether we should even be starting spring training until life is safer, until more vaccines can be administered. There s a concern among baseball executives, and those in uniform, that before we even get to the exhibition games in March, there will be so many positive tests that the sport will have to be paused. You can pause basketball, and the second it starts up again, Steph Curry is going to be knocking down a ridiculous 3 drifting to his left.

Geographically speaking, the Albuquerque Isotopes were part of a major relocation project Friday.
The ‘Topes went to bed Thursday night as members of the Pacific Coast League’s Pacific Southern Division. They awoke as members of the directionally confusing Professional Development League. Albuquerque will compete in the East Division of the Triple-A West.
Simple, right?
According to a sweeping overhaul of baseball’s minor leagues announced Friday, the Isotopes will be part of the 10-team Triple-A West drawn up to be travel-friendlier than was the former 16-team PCL alignment. Albuquerque lands in a division with the El Paso Chihuahuas, Oklahoma City Dodgers, Round Rock Express and Sugar Land Skeeters.
