First week of spring training canceled in Surprise

MLB lockout knocks out first 8 games

The Major League Baseball lockout has claimed the first eight games of the spring training season at Surprise Stadium, 15960 N. Bullard Ave.

MLB announced on Feb. 18 that all games will be canceled through March 4. If the lockout is lifted, games could resume as early as March 5.

That means the opening day charity game for the Sundancers between the two home teams, the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals, will not be played. The two teams also won’t play each other on March 3.
