I have never been able to care about the WBC. I’m not intrinsically against it, it’s just an intrusion on a spring training experience that I prefer.
I can see how it’s a big deal, to the 28% of players that are foreign born — and then there’s players that are not foreign born but who have a tangential right to play for another country’s team.
And of course there’s players that would just like to represent the USA, which I understand, but which still doesn’t mean much to me because I like my spring training unadulterated.
