Well, at least we have minimum 3 off days per month. That's a little more like it.

Two extra games against the Nats - two three games series. So, one game less each against the AL Central and AL West divisions (31 in 2025 vs. 32 this year). Just means 6 games against 4 of them and 7 against 1 in each division. The Interleague matchups are flipping home and away to what they were in 2023 as they should.

9 of the first 12 games on the road.

Ending the season in Yankee Stadium.

Raising the championship banner on Monday, March 31.

I thought this might be the year they jump a week forward, but it wasn't.  The calendar advances one day in relation to the week every year (2 in a leap year).   So last year the Opening Thursday was March 30, this year it was March 28, and next year it is March 27.   Obviously they can't creep a day earlier forever, so at some point it will jump forward a week.  I had kind of thought this would be the year that happened, but i was wrong.

Ending the season in New York after having to end the second to last season in New York this year seems a bit unfair.

We also host NYY for four in the last home weekend series. Over half of the year's Yankee games are in the final 10 games of the season.

I guess they are going back to 3x3 for all the regional rival pairs, rather than 2x2. Which is good because the current model has been resulting in weird back-to-back off days, and the Brewers/Twins All Star Break extending through Friday this year.

Not too many away game stadiums that would personally peak my interest for a vacation / baseball trip.

Interesting possibilities would be the A's and Giants series in Sacramento and San Fran (would be cool to check out those stadiums, and I've never been further west than St. Louis).  Or the Seattle series, would be awesome to see the Pacific Northwest.

There's also the Cubs series, I have family in the region and have never been to Wrigley.  I'll have to ponder all of this.

I’ve never understood why they release the schedule in the middle of the ongoing season. Why not do this in Nov or Dec to give the talking heads on their network something else to talk about?  Make it a whole thing like the NFL does, or at least try to.

Something baseball related for the news cycle for the last day of the All-Star break.

Interesting how they list the Athletics on the schedule.  Are they just gonna be referred to just as Athletics, or will it stay Oakland, be Sacramento, or start using Las Vegas.

True, that’s a fair answer. Still think it would be better in the offseason but certainly not a big deal.
