— John Atkins (@JohnnyGiunta_) January 7, 2026Taillon, whose parents are Canadian, has pitched for Team Canada back in 2013. I’m sure it’ll be cool to do it again more than a decade later, and as with all the other participants, I love that the Cubs are so involved in the international tournament.
With pitchers like he and Matthew Boyd, who is on Team USA, you do worry a little bit more about ramping up early into a very real competitive mode in mid-March, but at least they both had to do it last year because of the trip to Japan. Hopefully they can do it in a safe way, stay healthy, and are in a reasonably normal ramp up process throughout the tournament and ahead to the regular season.
Others who are or could reportedly be in the WBC include Pete Crow-Armstrong (USA), Jonathon Long (Chinese Taipei), Owen Caissie (Canada), Javier Assad (Mexico), Daniel Palencia (Venezuela), Miguel Amaya (Panama), Seiya Suzuki (Japan), and Shota Imanaga (Japan). We’ll see if there are any more announcements in the coming weeks, because I believe only the first three there, together with Taillon, have been reported as on the teams.
The World Baseball Classic runs from March 5 through 17 at a variety of locations for pool play. The quarterfinals are in Miami and Houston, and the championship round is in Miami.
