With concerns about COVID-19, the St. Louis Cardinals have announced a new spring training schedule, focusing on the least travel possible.

Pitchers and catchers will report to spring training in less than a week. For the St. Louis Cardinals, Nolan Arenado will soon take the field for the first time in Cardinal red.

One of the biggest questions about spring training has been whether or not fans will be allowed into the stands. As of a couple of weeks ago, Roger Dean Stadium began selling at least some tickets.

While tickets began being sold for what was the original schedule, the MLB recently made changes to the schedule, re-releasing it.

As usual, the Marlins and the Cardinals will be playing many games against each other as they share Roger Dean, but the thing to notice here is that the schedule will now only feature teams on the East coast of Florida.

These changes were made to restrict travel needed to avoid risking players to COVID-19. The opponents are now limited to Houston, Miami, Washington, and the Mets. Another added feature of this schedule is night games, something that fans don’t usually see during spring training.

Limited fans will make this year’s spring training different than any other, but as long as there is no shutdown in the middle, it’ll surely be better than last year. The Cardinals have already announced their non-roster invitees for the spring which feature multiple of the team’s top prospects.

The Cardinals kick off their schedule with a game against the Marlins on February 28, just two weeks from now. Soon we will have what hopefully will be an uninterrupted six months of baseball.

With pitchers and catchers set to report to camp in the coming days, the Miami Marlins found out they will not have to do much traveling to play their spring training schedule for 2021.

Major League Baseball announced Friday a tentative revamped schedule for the 15 teams who hold their camps in the state, breaking them into geographical groups in the central, southwest and southeast part of the state.

Miami will play their games against the St. Louis Cardinals - who also hold their camp with the Marlins in Jupiter - along with the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals in West Palm Beach and the New York Mets in Port St. Lucie.

The Marlins and Cardinals will allow fans inside their stadium for games during the 2021 spring training schedule, with the number of fans allowed not yet released:

Miami will tentatively play each team six times, opening their spring training schedule on February 28th at the Astros and ending camp on March 28th at home against the Mets.

The Marlins will open their 2021 regular season on April 1st at home against the in-state rival Tampa Bay Rays. Miami will also end the season at home on October 3rd against the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Marlins’ Grapefruit League schedule looks far different in 2021 than what we are accustomed to. Original plans for them to play 30 organized games have been modified, as seen below:

That’s 24 total games, six apiece against the MLB teams whose facilities are the shortest distances away. Start times will be shortly after 1 p.m. ET unless otherwise specified (“night” means shortly after 6 p.m. ET).

• Hosting the Cardinals on Mar. 2, Mar. 13 (night) and Mar. 22; visiting them on Mar. 8, Mar. 18 (night) and Mar. 27 (night)
• Hosting the Astros on Mar. 5, Mar. 10 (night) and Mar. 21; visiting them on Feb. 28, Mar. 15 an Mar. 26
• Hosting the Nationals on Mar. 6, Mar. 11 and Mar. 25 (night); visiting them on Mar. 3, Mar. 16 (night) and Mar. 20 (night)
• Hosting the Mets on Mar. 1, Mar. 17 and Mar. 28; visiting them on Mar. 7, Mar. 12 and Mar. 23

The Astros are Miami’s only opponent that made any noise in the 2020 postseason. However, the others all completed high-profile moves this past winter in an effort to vault themselves back into championship contention.

Many of these games will be available to watch on MLB.TV, broadcasted by the Marlins’ opponents’ broadcast crews. Unfortunately, the Marlins themselves still haven’t finalized a new deal with FOX Sports Florida.

The Marlins could elect to play intrasquad games on their off days in order to get their players as many reps as possible.

Less than a week ago, the NFL became the first of the four major sports in this country to complete its full season from start to finish since the start of the coronavirus pandemic a year ago.

Now, baseball will attempt the daunting task of getting in six weeks of spring training and a full 162-game schedule amid the pandemic when players start reporting Wednesday to facilities in Florida and Arizona, including the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach and Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter.

Pitchers and catchers from the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals report next week to Roger Dean Stadium at the same time those from the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros arrive at the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches. The full squads start reporting Feb. 22.

“It’s a great feeling, baseball is back,” said Matt Slatus, general manager of the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches.

This will be the first official signs of baseball at the parks since the coronavirus pandemic forced all teams to shut down spring training March 12.

“We certainly missed it,” said Mike Bauer, GM of Roger Dean Stadium. “This is why we’re here, for spring training and getting the guys ready for the new season. For my team and I, it felt good. It felt like a piece of normalcy in a strange year.”

Baseball released revised spring training schedules Friday in which teams will play in pods. The Marlins, Cardinals, Nationals, Astros and Mets, who train in Port St. Lucie, will play each other six times (three home, three away) each for a total of 24 games.

The spring openers include the Marlins and Astros at the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches and the Nationals facing the Cardinals at Roger Dean. The Mets first game is March 1 in Jupiter against the Marlins. Capacity will be limited to 1,500.

Fans are not allowed at the facilities to watch workouts prior to the start of games.

“The fields are in immaculate condition, it’s like carpet out there right now,” Bauer said. “The teams are working to get all the health and wellness procedure in place. We’re ready to go.”

The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches and Roger Dean Stadium have established strict COVID-19 protocols and guidelines, including the mandatory use of a face covering when not eating or drinking. Virtually everything in the stadiums will be touchless from the entry gates to the rest rooms. Signs and decals will be posted around the stadiums to remind people to socially distance.

Spring training games until March 13 may be shortened to five or seven innings if agreed upon by both managers. The completion of innings will not be required if a pitcher has thrown at least 20 pitches. Pitchers also will be permitted to re-enter games after being removed during spring training.

MLB had hoped to delay the start of spring training about a month and play a 154-game season as COVID-19 cases surged during the winter, but the plan was shot down by the players association.

The regular season starts April 1. The league and the union have agreed to extensive health and safety protocols that were in place a year ago when a 60-game season with expanded playoffs started in late July.

Most of the regular-season rules from last season remain in place, including seven-inning doubleheaders and runners on second base to start extra innings. The exception is the designated hitter, which will go back to being used in the American League only.

Equipment trucks arrived last week at both Palm Beach County ballparks. Both general managers said their staffs have prepared for this since spring training was cut short 11 months ago.

"We’ve been working since we shut down to figure out how we were going to be able do it again but to do it safely,” Bauer said. “That’s been our priority. Safety is paramount not only for the players and coaches but for my staff, my team and for our fans. I think we’ve got a really nice plan in place. We’re ready to host people again.”

Slatus said his staff has not taken its "foot off the gas” since the shut down.

“There’s so much life at the stadium right now,” he said. “It looks a little bit different, but we’ve got painters on site and they’re wearing masks and we’ve got plumbers on site and they’re social distanced and wearing masks. We’re accepting beer deliveries and hot dogs.

“It’s baseball season.”
