TAMPA, Fla. -- Get ready to shake off that brutal winter up north, because the date we have all had circled on our calendars has arrived. Today is the official report date for Yankees pitchers and catchers, who are filtering in to George M. Steinbrenner Field.
Manager Joe Girardi is scheduled to hold his annual opening news conference in the pavilion outside the Yanks' spring home at 11 a.m. ET., marking the beginning of camp as he addresses the many questions that surround this year's squad.
It will be televised live on the YES Network, and for the first time, Girardi will answer questions from fans that have been submitted via Twitter. You can submit your questions to the skipper by using the Twitter hashtag #BeAPartOfIt.
Yankees hope core of stars can have big years in 2015

Today is report day, meaning that the pitchers and catchers must simply check into the area. For some, that involves weighing in and dropping equipment at a locker, but several players are likely to do more. There has already been plenty of action on the back fields of the complex.
Many of the pitchers arrived early to work with pitching coach Larry Rothschild and get a jump start on their spring, including right-hander Masahiro Tanaka, who started his second big league season by tossing 21 pitches from a bullpen mound on Thursday morning. Tanaka has sent word through the club that he plans to speak to the media today.

Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller, who will be competing for duties as the Yankees' fourth closer in four years, headline the group of hurlers who have been running sprints and tossing at the team's Minor League complex. Nathan Eovaldi, whom the Yanks acquired from the Marlins in a December trade, has also been present. The first official workout for pitchers and catchers will take place on Saturday morning.
Chase Headley, Brian McCann and Garrett Jones were among the earliest-arriving position players, and they have already swung the bat on the diamond at Steinbrenner Field in preparation for the spring ahead. Yankees' position players are due to arrive in camp on Wednesday, and the first full-squad workout is set for Thursday.
