Full rosters for teams representing the 20 countries participating in this year’s World Baseball Classic were revealed Thursday evening.
You can find the complete rosters here, but since we are Cubs fans, I am going to provide you with a full list of Cubs who will be departing camp in Mesa to play in the WBC. (H/T to Josh for helping me compile this list.)
Here are the Cubs who are on the 40-man roster who are participating:
Javier Assad — Mexico
Nelson Velázquez — Puerto Rico
Marcus Stroman — Puerto Rico
Miles Mastrobuoni — Italy
Seiya Suzuki — Japan
Trey Mancini was originally on the list to play for Italy, but he opted to stay in Cubs camp to get to know his new teammates better.
