The Boston Red Sox begin reporting for Spring Training 2013 soon.

 

The dates for players reporting to camp and the start of spring training are as follows:

 

February 10th: Pitchers and Catchers Report

Red Sox fans will see a bevy of new faces in camp this spring when pitchers and catchers gather to start spring workouts.  New Red Sox Manager John Farrell will open his first spring training with new arrivals Rubby de la Rosa, Joel Hanrahan, Koji Uehara, Ryan Dempster and David Ross.

 

February 14th: Full Squad Reports

Excitement will be the word of the day as the full squad reports for the first time. Newcomers Shane Victorino, Jonny Gomes, Stephen Drew and possibly Mike Napoli will help to give an air of optimism as the Sox hope to erase the memories of a lost 2012 season.

 

February 23rd: First Grapefruit League Game – Boston Red Sox  vs. Tampa Bay Rays at JetBlue Park

Two days prior to the first Grapefruit League game, Sox fans can watch the Red Sox in action for the first time as they play their annual spring games against Boston College and Northeastern University on February 21st.

 

March 30th: Last Grapefruit League Game – Boston Red Sox vs. Minnesota Twins at JetBlue Park

The Red Sox will take on the Minnesota Twins in their final Graperuit League game before traveling to Yankee Stadium to open the regular season.

The Mayor’s Cup—the annual trophy given to the winner of the Red Sox-Twins spring series as the two representatives of the city of Fort Myers—will be on the line.

 

JetBlue Park at Fenway South

The Red Sox opened the new 10,823-seat stadium just last year.  JetBlue Park features an almost-exact replica of the 37-foot Green Monster at Fenway Park, complete with its own manual scoreboard.
