As transactions subside and doors swing open at spring training facilities in Arizona and Florida, it\u2019s time for our annual* MLB fan survey \u2014 your chance to chime in on the state of the game and more.<\/p>\n

*All right, you got me. We skipped last year\u2019s survey because I went on parental leave.<\/p>\n

This survey consists of 25 questions, any of which you may skip if you have no opinion on the subject. Topics range from the big, bad Los Angeles Dodgers to baseball\u2019s economics, fan experience and future. If there\u2019s another area you\u2019d like to address, put your thoughts in the comment section below. I\u2019ll trawl the completed surveys and the comment section at the end of the week, then include some reader responses when we publish the fan survey results. Thanks, as always, for participating.<\/p>\n
