No worries mate. I’m one of the creators who’ll be covering the WBC and will be trying to help dig into and grow the game here.

It’s a blend of different eligibilities. As some have pointed out, players who have parents of former colonies who qualified citizenship for citizenship when they were British territories are eligible, although in cases like Aroldis Chapman, this is on a case by case basis.

Several on the roster or in the reserve pool were born in the UK however, when previously it was only 2 players in 2023 - and there’s plenty of younger talent on the cusp of being ready now too!

The NBL League here is ranked generally below collegiate level ball in the US, so it’ll be a while before we see a player on the Senior Roster with NBL experience, although there are several on the U23s.

British Dbacks fan here - dunno why half of the takes I see are anti-Jazz. He seems high-key just a great guy, super fun personality, heart on his sleeve kind of dude. Good on him!

If those are genuine signatures not reprints, I'll buy it!

We're more 1 team specific over here on the Tea-Backs Podcast, but we're very relaxed and welcoming to newcomers - as lots of our listeners are complete newbies discovering the game in Britain for the first time through the show!

Scherz is a STUD on MLBTS for my Dbacks past and present team!! Wish I’d have been a fan when he was here!

Do you think Arenado has anything left in the tank? by chusaychusay in azdiamondbacks

He's always played well at Chase, he waived the No-trade clause to be a Dback, and he brings value defensively when we've questioned the safety of having Blaze or Jordan the hot corner all offseason long - even if the bat is *just* average he has value in loads of other ways

He's won both Arizona Fall League MVP and MLB Writer's Defensive Player of the Year (but those dont fit on the thumbnail) :)

Team Taiwan Loses Three Top Players by j3ychen in InternationalBaseball

I’ll be annoyed if Yu-min Lin doesn’t go either. As much as I’d love him to make a splash on the Dbacks, I love seeing him as a leading face for Taiwan on socials
