The Chicago White Sox have announced their schedule for the 2023 spring training season. As far as their MLB-related opponents, it is a lot of the same as they will be playing a lot of their Cactus League foes with their home games being played at Camelback Ranch in Arizona.
The White Sox will begin their exhibition season on February 25th against the San Deigo Padres at Camelback Ranch. That will be a fun way for them to kick off the 2023 season.
We won’t know who will be playing in that game for a long time but getting baseball back in February will certainly be nice as the Winter will slowly be coming to an end.
Even during spring training, it is fun when the Chicago White Sox face off against the Chicago Cubs. They will play the Cubs one time at Camelback Ranch. They will also see them three times at their home spring park, Sloan Park. One of those games will be the spring finale on March 28th.
The most exciting part of this spring schedule, however, is something that you might never see again. The White Sox are going to face off against Team USA’s squad for the World Baseball Classic on March 9th at Camelback Ranch.
There is a very fun wrinkle to the 2023 Chicago White Sox spring schedule.
That is going to be a great time for all baseball fans around the country as a Major League team will face a national team in an exhibition. You may even see someone like Tim Anderson go against his White Sox teammates which will be really interesting to see.

Outside of the fun stories that will come with the spring schedule, the White Sox need this time to get ready for what will be a pressure-filled 2023 season. The 2022 campaign has been a disaster and they need this 2023 year to bounce back.
The most important thing is that some of the young players continue their development and everyone needs to stay healthy. It is also important for every pitcher to be in mid-season form by the time we reach the end of the exhibition portion of the year.
It is nice that there is this extra wrinkle for fans to enjoy with the World Baseball Classic colliding with MLB but the White Sox should do what they can to be better in 2023. We can only hope that some big time moves are made ahead of this spring.
