LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Braves left-handed pitcher Jaime Garcia is still debating whether to accept the opportunity to pitch for his native Mexico in the 2017 World Baseball Classic.
"There are some conversations that need to happen before [a decision is made]," Garcia said. "I love my country. I've always wanted to represent them, but my priority is the Atlanta Braves because of how much they have invested in me and believe in me. So I'm focused on being ready in April and through October."
Garcia has not ruled out the possibility of pitching for Mexico, but he seems to be seriously considering simply remaining at Spring Training with the Braves to prepare for the upcoming season.
