"Representing Canada is Adam Macko, a left-handed starting pitcher who is on the team's 40-man roster, but has yet to make his big league debut. He's the lone player in the Jays organization representing Canada, but Otto López will also represent Canada. The lone Blue Jay representing Team USA is Ernie Clement. The utility infielder broke the postseason record for the most hits in a single playoff run, totalling three over the course of the Blue Jays' 18 playoff games. Matt Boyd is the only former Blue Jay on USA's roster."
"Moving south, it's expected that Alejandro Kirk will catch the bulk of the games for Mexico. Last postseason, he hit five home runs with strong defence behind the plate. There are also two former Blue Jays on that team, Taijuan Walker and Rowdy Tellez. Of course, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is set to represent the Dominican Republic in the WBC for the first time in his career. He was originally named to the 2023 roster, but pulled out due to injury. Former Blue Jay Seranthony Domínguez is also set to play for the Dominican Republic."
"Another Blue Jay representing a Caribbean country is Cuba's Yariel Rodríguez. Outrighted shortly after the season ended, the righty looks to earn his way back onto the Blue Jays roster. José Berríos will be eligible for Puerto Rico in the knockout rounds. They're in a group with Canada, Cuba, Panama, and Colombia. If Berríos joins Puerto Rico, he'll join Luis Quiñones and José De Léon, two former Buffalo Bison pitchers. Panama will feature Leo Jiménez on the roster, with the infielder getting a cup of tea with the Blue Jays in 2025. Joining him is Paolo Espino, who pitched for the team during the dismal 2024 season."
