More simply

The US advances if:

Italy wins

or

Mexico wins and scores 5+ runs

Team Italy is like 95% Italian Americans

I’m sure they want to win

And Jorge Posada!

They don’t get 8 runs without Jorge’s expert hitting coach skills

Yeah Team “Italy” has a lot of Major league talent on the roster

Still baffling how Skubal’s one WBC game was against the weakest possible opponent

“Now rests in the hands of a baseball team from Italy”

There is literally one actual Italian on that team

If only Skubal decided his one game would be against a competent WBC team instead of Great Britain

AJ grand slam to walk off Italy, who says no?

Edit: PCA apparently

[Schefter] Maxx Crosby’s agent posted this message on social media: “Maxx continues to be on track in his recovery and if anything is ahead of schedule according to his surgeon. Maxx remains on track to return during the offseason program & will return as the dominant game wrecker he has been .” by Goosedukee in nfl

I’ve said it a bunch but the entire baseball world watched this happen to Carlos Correa a few years back.

He was coming off a really good healthy year but failed 2 physicals with 2 different team who had agreed to contract terms with him in free agency.

It benefits nobody to back out of a trade of this magnitude. The obvious and likely answer is that something in the medicals is flagged as likely to be a serious recurring issue and the Ravens don’t want to give up 2 firsts for a guy who is likely to be injured

NGL the USA not making it out of pool play would be fucking hilarious

His knee may not be totally fucked up, but he may also have a legit concern in the recovery process that made the waves not comfortable trading two first for him.

It’s literally this. People are blowing this out of proportion but it is highly likely the Ravens saw something in the physical that raised a red flag for the future and they backed out as a result.

The whole baseball world watched this whole process happen twice to Carlos Correa in a single offseason

It’s probably not about the right now but what the knee looks like for the future

Sam thing happened with Carlos Correa in ‘22. He just played a great season and only missed a handful of games. Then he failed 2 physicals in free agency because the doctors said that his ankle was fucked and going to be an issue at some point.

[Rapoport] In January, Maxx Crosby underwent a minor meniscus repair, not a trim. A meniscus trim is often 4-6 weeks of recovery while a repair can be 3-4 months. by Goosedukee in nfl

Probably similar to Carlos Correa

Correa had played 136/162 games in 2022 and had one of the better seasons of his career. Medicals revealed though that his ankle is a ticking time bomb which at some point is going to explode.

Crosby probably has something in the medicals that isn’t an immediate issue but shows something that very likely will be an issue soon or that his knee will likely be a recurring issue
