Now that Cuba has opened up to whatever degree it has, it's cool that MLB guys from there can now play for them these tournaments. When these first started in the 00s those guys couldn't play and they were sending their travel teams of guys who either hadn't defected yet or weren't good enough to do so.
Did you just hear rosenthal mention all of the guys not welcome or invited to play on Cuba’s team? There a ton of studs not on this team, although you could say that about the US team, too (pitching especially).
I am pissed off right now. ESPN in Australia were advertising the WBC last night, but now this morning local time the fuck wits have switched to NCAA basketball.
I did not, although I'm not surprised. But at least guys like Moncada and Robert are playing now instead of guys no one has ever heard of.
Remember when Goldschmidt was washed in 2018? Couldn't hit a fastball. Crazy he's still even in the league jrmy
