GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Dominican Republic's World Baseball Classic roster is among the most attractive in the entire tournament.
The team is the defending WBC champion, after all, and the squad looks strong enough to make another 8-0 run through the tournament.
Adrian Beltre, Manny Machado and Robinson Cano are in the infield. Jose Bautista and Nelson Cruz are in the outfield. Edinson Volquez, Johnny Cueto and Dellin Betances are among those on the mound.
Yet the roster has one glaring omission.
