The Pirates will open Spring Training on February 23rd against the Tampa Bay Rays. Not all of the other teams have released their schedules yet, so the Pirates haven’t announced their road games yet. Here are the road games that are known so far in case you’re planning a trip elsewhere besides the ballpark formerly known as McKechnie Field. These would represent the only road games against the particular teams listed. There should be about ten more road games still to be announced.

2/25: Detroit Tigers

3/2: Baltimore Orioles

3/9: Philadelphia Phillies

3/10: Orioles

3/23: Phillies

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
