With some experts predicting Toronto to win Major League Baseball's World Championship this year, the sports world is keeping all eyes on Dunedin as the 2013 Spring Training season gets underway.

Sportsnet, a sports broadcasting network, filmed its show "Connected" live in front of Florida Auto Exchange Stadium on Monday, Feb. 18, and reports that it has every intention of continuing its coverage from Dunedin.

In a Facebook photo Monday, Janette Donoghue, Dunedin Blue Jays president, tagged Toronto Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia being interviewed by Sportsnet in front of the same Douglas Avenue stadium where she works every day.

She wrote:

"Spring Training is almost here!!!" 

Here's a look at Sportsnet's upcoming plans in Dunedin:

• "The Jeff Blair Show" will broadcast live on Sportsnet AM 590 The Fan from Feb. 18 to 22 and Feb. 25 to March 1.
• "Prime Time Sports" with Bob McCown and Stephen Brunt will work in Dunedin starting March 11.

Toronto kicks off its Grapefruit League season in Lakeland on Saturday, Feb. 23 against the Detroit Tigers.

All players reported on Feb. 16.
