Miami Marlins release 2017 spring training schedule
The Miami Marlins will be taking fewer bus trips around Florida next spring.
That’s because the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals are moving their spring training headquarters to a new ballpark in West Palm Beach, within close proximity of Jupiter where both the Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals train.
As a result, the Marlins are scheduled to play 22 of their 35 Grapefruit League games in Jupiter at Roger Dean Stadium and another five in nearby West Palm Beach. It marks the 25th spring training for the Marlins, who began play in 1993.
The Marlins released their 2017 exhibition schedule Wednesday, with the first game slated for Feb. 25 against the Cardinals in Jupiter.
Pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report on Feb. 14.
