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.
A star-studded lineup of athletes and celebrities gathered at the Floridian National Golf Club in Palm City, Florida, for the inaugural Jim Crane Celebrity Classic charity tournament on Monday. Hosted by Houston Astros owner Jim Crane, the Astros Foundation, and rapper 50 Cent's G-Unity Foundation, the event aimed to raise over $1 million for various nonprofits. Attendees included MLB and NFL Hall of Famers, with proceeds supporting youth sports, education, childhood cancer initiatives, and efforts to combat homelessness and domestic violence.
