With the 2020 Olympics being commenced in the summer of 2021 in Tokyo, the Team USA baseball roster has been announced. The Houston Astros are lucky enough to have two of their own alumni headed to the games; those players being LHP Scott Kazmir and catcher Tim Federowicz.
The rosters aren’t allowing any current active MLB players, so that is why we aren’t seeing a stacked All-Star roster. Especially with the season in full swing, it doesn’t seem plausible to have the super stars headed to Japan.
