Game 1: Twins and Rays lineups
FORT MYERS, Fla. — The wait is over. Spring Training is officially here.
The Twins open Grapefruit League play today against the Rays at 12:05 p.m. CT at Hammond Stadium. The game is not on TV, and will be on tape delay on the radio on 1500 ESPN Twin Cities because of the University of Minnesota basketball game.
But you can also follow it live on MLB.com’s Gameday and listen to the live radio broadcast there as well.
If not, you can follow me on Twitter @RhettBollinger, where I’ll be providing updates throughout the day.
