Here are the 12 Blue Jays members who will be attending the World Baseball Classic

Unbeknownst to most, baseball practice camps are approaching.

You know as well as I do that once the Super Bowl is behind us, the sports world makes more room for America's favorite pastime. That's why, these days, everyone is converging on Florida and Arizona.

The 2026 camp will be special because, at the heart of it all, there will be players who will be leaving to participate in the World Baseball Classic. Several hitters and pitchers will therefore report to their national team's camp to play for their country.

It will be interesting, as you know, because the 2023 edition was really cool and many players wanted to say yes for 2026.

For the Toronto Blue Jays, for example, the club's entire infield will be at the Classic. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (Dominican Republic), Ernie Clement (United States), Andres Gimenez (Venezuela), Alejandro Kirk (Mexico), and Kazuma Okamoto (Japan) will all be at the Classic.

In fact, they are part of a group of 12 members of the Blue Jays organization who will represent their countries.

Yariel Rodriguez, who will have to fight for his place in the Majors at spring practice, will pitch for Cuba. Leo Jimenez, who has played infield here and there in recent years, will represent Panama.

It should be noted thatAdam Macko, a prospect with Canadian roots, will pitch for Canada.

Will Cresswell (Great Britain), Ismael Munguia (Nicaragua), RJ Schreck and C.J. Stubbs (both for Israel) are the other members of the Blue Jays organization who will be at the World Baseball Classic.

It is widely agreed that the four nations most likely to win are the United States, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, and Japan. Clement (who will be a bench player for his country), Gimenez, Guerrero Jr., and Okamoto are therefore the players to watch in this regard.
