Team USA has added designated hitter Kyle Schwarber, second baseman Brice Turang, shortstop Gunnar Henderson and catcher Will Smith to its roster for the 2026 World Baseball Classic. The commitments were announced during the tournament's media day at the MLB Winter Meetings in Orlando. The squad aims to reclaim the title it last won in 2017 after finishing as runners-up to Japan in 2023.
Team Canada approaches the 2026 World Baseball Classic with unprecedented roster depth and confidence to advance past the pool stage for the first time in tournament history. Manager Ernie Whitt emphasized the excitement of starting a potential Major League lineup at every position. Placed in Pool A without Team USA or Mexico, the Canadians aim to leverage their talent in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
