Red Sox Release 2013 Spring Training Schedule
BOSTON (CBS) - There is a bitter cold in the air around Boston, but spring is just around the corner.
At least in a baseball sense.
The Boston Red Sox released their 38-game Spring Training schedule on Monday, with 20 of the games coming at JetBlue Park at Fenway South in Lee County, Florida.
The team's first workout for pitchers and catchers is scheduled for Tuesday, February 12, with the first full-squad workout set for Friday, February 15.
The Red Sox open their Spring Training slate on Thursday, February 21, with a single-admission doubleheader against the Northeastern University Huskies and the Boston College Eagles. The first game begins at 1:35 p.m.

Additionally, with the third World Baseball Classic taking place in March, the Red Sox will host Team Puerto Rico at JetBlue Park in an exhibition game on Tuesday, March 5, at 7:05 p.m. Tickets for this special game will be available at half-price.
