Texas Rangers announce 2015 Spring Training schedule and pricing

The Texas Rangers are scheduled to play 34 spring training games in 2014, including 30 Cactus League contests. The club released its complete spring training schedule and pricing on Tuesday.

The schedule includes a pair of exhibition games with the New York Mets at Globe Life Park in Arlington to close the spring schedule on Friday, April 3 (7:05 p.m. CT) and Saturday, April 4 (1:05 p.m. CT). It will mark the first exhibition game in Arlington versus a major league team since the Rangers hosted at the Kansas City Royals on April 2, 2010.
