From AZCentral:
|
Baseball fans in Arizona are celebrating.
|
|
Spring is almost here, but spring training is now.
|
|
The Arizona Republic's team of writers will cover the Diamondbacks, home and road, and provide the best coverage fans can find.
|
|
The 10 spring training ballparks in the greater Phoenix area provide a gathering spot for fans eager to reunite with their favorite teams and stars.
|
|
The Cubs (Sloan Park), Milwaukee Brewers (American Family Fields in Phoenix), Sacramento (formerly Oakland) Athletics (Hohokam Stadium), Los Angeles (Tempe Diablo Stadium) and Giants (Scottsdale Stadium) have a ballpark to call their own.

|
The big story of the Major League Baseball offseason was the mass — Diamondbacks fans would call it obscene — hoarding of top free agents by the defending World Series champion Dodgers, but the hometown team surprised its fan base with increased spending, too.
|
|
The Diamondbacks lured former Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes — who already owned a home in the Valley — aboard with a six-year, $210 million contract. Burnes will team with Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly to give Arizona a truly formidable trio at the top of the pitching rotation.
|
|
Year-round residents anticipating success for this year's Diamondbacks are likely to be rewarded, as the team appears to boast all the elements needed to be a playoff contender.
|
|
As is the case for Cactus League teams, hope springs eternal.
