Ballplayers warming up under palm trees in Florida or near a cactus in Arizona are a sure sign that spring is on the way. Major league camps opened last week and spring training games begin this weekend. Here’s a look at the MLB teams that train in Florida, starting on the West Coast and working our way north, east, then south.

The Grapefruit and Cactus League exhibition games have never been more popular, with some games commanding prices on the secondary market at or near regular season prices. Later this week, we’ll take a look at the teams that train in Arizona.
