"The Cubs have yet another player headed to the World Baseball Classic this spring, with Alex Bregman announcing his commitment to Team USA on Thursday morning."
"Bregman played for Team USA in the 2017 WBC, a tournament in which Team USA beat Puerto Rico 8-0 in the championship game. He did not see much playing time in that event, as he had appeared in only 49 games during his rookie season in 2016."
"After suffering a finger injury during the 2022 World Series, Bregman missed the 2023 WBC. He is now making his return to the world stage as a member of the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs already have several players committed to play for Team USA, including Pete Crow-Armstrong and Matthew Boyd. Jameson Taillon and former Cub Owen Caissie will suit up for Team Canada."
