Javier Baez among the 30 players confirmed for 2017 World Baseball Classic
Major League Baseball announced earlier this week the initial list of 30 players that will participate in the World Baseball Classic (WBC) this spring.
Javier Baez, the Co-MVP of the National League Championship Series, is joined on Team Puerto Rico by shortstops Carlos Correa and Francisco Lindor.
Baez will have to leave the Cubs in Spring Training to participate in the WBC. Baez is expected to be a regular in Joe Maddon’s lineup next season while playing all four positions in the infield.
