ARLINGTON -- For much of the year, A's left fielder Khris Davis has given serious thought to playing for Mexico in next spring's World Baseball Classic. Then the U.S. squad came calling.
Now Davis, who says he's on the preliminary invitee list for both teams, has a decision to make.
"I would go for the best opportunity," Davis said. "I would probably lean toward the better team, which might be the U.S., but we'll see. It's a tough decision."
Davis, 28, was born in Southern California but has family ties to Mexico, the native country of his mother, Sonia Alarcon, who grew up in the state of Sinaloa.
