The Padres have released their 2017 Spring Training schedule. Due to the return of the World Baseball Classic (which will again hold games at Petco Park in March) things will be just a little bit different this time around.
Pitchers and catchers report on Valentine’s Day and the first workout is set for February 15 at the Peoria Sports Complex in Arizona. Position players join the group on the 17th and the first full-squad workout will be on Saturday, February 18.
The first of its 34 game Cactus League schedule will be on February 25 against the Seattle Mariners in their annual charity game. As teams get ready for the WBC, the Padres will host the Mexican National Team for three practices from March 6-8 and play a game at Peoria Stadium on Tuesday, March 7.
I know that’s a lot of dates so just check out the full month’s schedule:

Spring Training ends with one final game against the Diamondbacks on March 30. The regular season starts four days later when the Padres start a three-game set against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
