"Among the 12 Blue Jays participating in the WBC, seven of them are from the big league team. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will play for the Dominican Republic, Alejandro Kirk for Mexico, Ernie Clement for USA, Andres Gimenez for Venezuela, Kazuma Okamoto for Japan, Yariel Rodriguez for Cuba, and Leo Jimenez (who spent time with the team in 2024) for Panama."
"The final five Blue Jays are currently in the minor leagues. Willis Cresswell, who plays for Single-A Dunedin, will represent Great Britain. Ismael Munguia, who recently signed a minor-league deal with the Blue Jays and was assigned to Double-A New Hampshire, will join Nicaragua. RJ Schreck, the Blue Jays' number 10 prospect, and C.J. Stubbs, recently signed by Toronto and assigned to Triple-A Buffalo, will both play for Israel."
Twenty teams will compete in the World Baseball Classic, and Toronto will send twelve players. Seven players are current major-leaguers: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (Dominican Republic), Alejandro Kirk (Mexico), Ernie Clement (USA), Andres Gimenez (Venezuela), Kazuma Okamoto (Japan), Yariel Rodriguez (Cuba), and Leo Jimenez (Panama). Five players are in the minors: Willis Cresswell (Great Britain), Ismael Munguia (Nicaragua), RJ Schreck (Israel), C.J. Stubbs (Israel), and Adam Macko (Canada). José Berrios is a notable omission pending insurance approval, and Puerto Rico has sought approvals for Javier Báez and Francisco Lindor amid threats to withdraw.
