On Monday, the 2015 Major League Baseball regular season schedule was released. Below are three opening series any baseball fan will not want to miss.
Toronto Blue Jays at New York Yankees
For the first time in a long time the Yankees will open their season without Derek Jeter on their roster. Masahiro Tanaka will be back as the ace of the rotation and C.C. Sabathia will be back in the rotation as well.
Without Jeter, the Yankees are showing that a new era will begin in their franchise's future.
The Blue Jays will have a reconstructed roster as well. They are expected to lose Melky Cabrera and Colby Rasmus to costless agency. The big question will be if R.A. Dickey or current rookie Marcus Stroman will start the 2015 season for the Jays.
St. Louis Cardinals at Chicago Cubs
The Cubs showed a lot of improvement from the start of the 2014 season to the end of the season. They young players have stepped up, those being Javier Baez and Jorge Soler during the final months of the season.
Kris Bryant will most likely start in the Cubs first game of the season. He was the second overall pick in last years draft. Bryant has hit 43 long balls with a 1.098 OPS between the Cubs Double-A and Triple-A teams this season.
Texas Rangers at Oakland Athletics
The Rangers died out at the end of the season due to multiple injuries to key players. Yu Darvish being one of those players. He was shut down due to elbow inflammation and seems like he will make his first career Opening Day start.
Prince Fielder, Jurickson Profar, and Derek Holland and other minor characters throughout the season caused the Rangers to struggled through the season and never get "hot."
