Cubs players will be representing countries from across the globe when the World Baseball Classic kicks off this spring. Five players on the Cubs 40-man roster and several top prospects were included on WBC rosters, announced Thursday evening.
Seiya Suzuki and Marcus Stroman – who made early commitments to Japan and Puerto Rico – headline the group.
Outfielder Nelson Velázquez joins Stroman on Team Puerto Rico, a deep squad on the position-player side.
