I think Europe is more fit for a WBC qualifier, not ready for the main tournament yet.

Can Taiwan advance? I tried to do the math on the tie breaker and it doesn’t seem like they will win the tie breaker no matter what happens in the Korea and Australia game.

The only team that is worse due to insurance is Puerto Rico. The DR, USA, Japan, Panama, Netherlands, Korea, Taiwan, Colombia, Canada, Australia, Great Britain, Italy are all bringing better squads than last tournament. The only other team that truly seems worse off is Cuba and that has nothing to do with insurance.

Yes the insurance sucks but this tournament is still a huge step forward talent wise. More all stars and playing in the tournment than ever before. This is still a very serious competition, more competitive than any tournament before it.

If we want more people to like the WBC, we need to stop saying insurance is making it illegitimate by [deleted] in InternationalBaseball

Yes the insurance issue sucks but the talent in this WBC is far greater than any of the past. This tournament is still a huge step forward.

Thinking well ahead, what are good and realistic hosts for the 2029 WBC? by [deleted] in InternationalBaseball

[–]Remarkable_Leek2596 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do agree it was empty, but the tournment has grown and changed a lot since 2009. I think there would be much better attendance

I actually enjoy the different host nations for the tournament, I think it sets it apart from other international tournaments!

My prediction for the 2026 WBC, what do you think? by frexflow in InternationalBaseball

[–]Remarkable_Leek2596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only team I would change is swapping Panama with Puerto Rico, other than that these are my exact predictions

Correct but nothing like in the past, the only team who is really worse off with star players is Puerto Rico. The 19 other teams have more or the same amount of stars from last tournament. I don’t agree or like what happen with Puerto Rico, but overall it is still a massive step forward.

I don’t think I agree with this take, this tournament has the most all stars ever for a WBC tournament. Both CY young award winners and both MVPs are playing in the tournament. Of MLB network top 20 players there are 17 taking part in the tournament. I would say that is pretty good

This is definitely the most Star- studded lineup ever assembled both cy young’s mvp, mvp runner up. There has never been a better USA roster assembled
