It's an exciting spring for baseball fans! The World Baseball Classic will be happening through the first half of March, pitting the best baseball players in the world against each other.
Not only is it an amazing experience for the players who get to represent their countries, but it also opens up playing time in normal spring training for fringe roster players.
The Boston Red Sox will have 13 representatives on the 40-man roster playing for 10 different countries. That includes all five of the outfielders/designated hitters on the roster, Willson Contreras, Ranger Suárez, Brayan Bello, Garrett Whitlock and Greg Weissert.
