The team will hold its first official workout as a team on Monday, April 14 and Tuesday, April 15. On Wednesday, April 16th Blue Crabs will be out-and-about in the community during the annual "Community Caravan Day". Players will split into groups and visit local charities and non-profits throughout the Southern Maryland Region.
The Spring Training schedule will also feature the team's media day on Thursday, April 17th, which includes an exclusive media-only 10:00 a.m. workout, followed by a media luncheon at 1:00 p.m.
