Last week, former big-leaguer Mark DeRosa was named the manager of Team USA for next spring’s World Baseball Classic. Earlier this week, we learned that Dodgers third-base coach Dino Ebel would fill that same role for Team USA on DeRosa’s coaching staff.
At that point, while several players had committed to play for Team USA, none of them were Dodgers. That changed on Thursday morning, when MLB announced a pretty big addition to the team.
