So the World Baseball Classic (WBC) is upon us soon and 10 Jays are going.
Via the Jays website here is the list
- Team USA
- Marcus Stroman
- J.A. Happ
- Team Canada
- Dalton Pompey
- Shane Dawson (minor leaguer)
- Team Mexico
- Roberto Osuna
- Marco Estrada
- Team Dominican Republic
- Jose Bautista
- Team Venezuela
- Leonel Campos (minor leaguer)
- Team Israel
- Jake Fishman (minor leaguer)
- Team Italy
- Jordan Romano (minor leaguer)
Team Canada is missing some notable players: Russell Martin (insurance reasons), Joey Votto, James Paxton, Brett Lawrie, Michael Saunders and Jameson Taillon.
The full team roster for Team Canada is at the WBC web site. A few surprising names on the list like Eric Gagne and Ryan Dempster - both of whom I thought were long retired. Might just be coaches but listed on the roster for some reason.
