I looked for another thread, didn't find one. If someone already made one, Tough Tittie. Mine's OFFICIAL
Begins on March 8th. Looks like there's more MLB players than in the past. The one player I want to see is Japan's 3b Munetaka Murakami. Just turned 23 and already has 177 HR's for the Yakult Swallows with a .282 BA. Won the NPL's MVP by a unanimous vote in 2022 with 56 HRs, 134 RBI's and a .318 BA in 141 games. First position player to do that since the legendary Sahaharu Oh. Anytime anyone does the same thing that Oh did is noteworthy as he is the God of Baseball there. Due to his contract, he can't come to MLB until 2025.
He does have a sweet swing

Are MLB players allowed to play for their countries? In other words, is Team USA the best possible team that the country can put together?

They play for the country of their origin. Many MLB players are from Latin America or Japan. Some are from Europe, Australia, or South Korea. |

They play for the country of their origin. Many MLB players are from Latin America or Japan. Some are from Europe, Australia, or South Korea. I understand that. I was just wondering if MLB allowed their players to take part. I have a vague recollection that that wasn't always the case, so Team USA was composed of minor league players - like the NHL didn't allow their players to take part in the last two Winter Olympic Games. |

Chiming in, I really like it, love that it exists as it does.
Is it A+ players playing A+ ball? Not quite, yet I do think it allows for less intense, more relaxed & productive play because of that.
We'd love a Ryder Cup war of baseball... this is the President's Cup calibre, it's fine.
