While Spring Training is a mere two months away, the 2017 World Baseball Classic is not far behind. Pools A and B open WBC play on March 17, 2017, with games played at the Tokyo Dome and Gocheok Sky Dome, respectively.
Dodger Stadium will host the semifinals and final from March 20-22. In a break from previous years, Team USA is on track to field a roster with some of the top names in baseball. It may grow to include Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw and shortstop Corey Seager.
Both acknowledged they have interest in participating, but neither has given their commitment.
