PCA is good, but Buxton should still be Team USA's starting center fielder for the 2026 WBC.
Byron Buxton is expected to be named to Team USA's provisional roster for the 2026 World Baseball Classic, according to The Minnesota Star Tribune's Bobby Nightengale. He would join an outfield that includes three-time American League MVP Aaron Judge, Arizona Diamondbacks right fielder Corbin Carroll and Chicago Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong.
“It’s time for the world to see [Buxton],” said Team USA manager Mark DeRosa.
