Puerto Rico considers withdrawing from 2026 World Baseball Classic over insurance denials
Reportado por IA Imagem gerada por IA
Team Puerto Rico is contemplating pulling out of the 2026 World Baseball Classic after insurance providers denied coverage to eight to ten key players, including captain Francisco Lindor. The issue stems from stricter underwriting following injuries in the 2023 tournament, complicating roster assembly just days before deadlines. Officials worry about fielding a competitive team, especially as hosts of pool play in San Juan.
