Major League Baseball announced yesterday that this upcoming Spring Training will feature a new four-day event called “Spring Breakout.” This event will feature the top prospects from each organization facing off against each other in Spring Training venues. All 30 teams will be represented.
The idea behind this showcase event is to feature the next generation of stars on a bigger stage. There will be opportunities for “fan engagement” at every game, including autograph-signing sessions. Some games will be single-ticket doubleheaders with traditional Spring Training games.
A team of the best 20-to-25 Cubs prospects will take on a team of the best 20-to-25 White Sox prospects at Sloan Park on Friday, March 15 at 2:05 Arizona time.
