CLEVELAND -- The temperature is dropping, the first snowflakes have fallen and holiday lights are beginning to adorn houses all around the Cleveland area. It is as good a time as any to begin thinking warm thoughts of baseball and Spring Training.
On Tuesday, the Indians unveiled their spring schedule, allowing fans to officially begin a countdown to the 2016 season.

The Tribe's full squad will be required to report by Feb.
