Correa, Lindor Highlight Puerto Rico Roster for World Baseball Classic

The Puerto Rican National Team has assembled a very strong roster for the 2023 World Baseball Classic, including MLB stars Francisco Lindor, Carlos Correa, Javier Baez and Jose Miranda. Here's a look at Puerto Rico's roster for the WBC, as of January 18.

Two months out from the World Baseball Classic, Puerto Rico has assembled quite a roster for the 2023 event.

Shawn Spradling has been rounding up the rosters for each country's national team for the event. Wednesday morning, he tweeted out the Dominican Republic's preliminary roster.

Puerto Rico's national team will feature stars Francisco Lindor, Carlos Correa, Javier Baez and Jose Miranda.

Puerto Rico reached the championship game of the last World Baseball Classic, in 2017, losing to the United States 8-0 at Dodger Stadium.

One noteworthy addition to Puerto Rico's team is MVP of the 2017 World Baseball Classic championship game Marcus Stroman, who pitched for the United States in the last event. Stroman has crossed over to join the team that the US beat in the championship, in hopes of delivering a championship to Puerto Rico.
