Full rosters for the 2017 World Baseball Classic were announced this week, and the Oakland A’s organization has a total of nine players participating. CBS put together a handy list of every country’s roster, which you can see by clicking here. The nine A’s, representing six countries (players in italics are minor leaguers who are not on the A’s 40-man roster):
- Sonny Gray, RHP, USA
- Liam Hendriks, Australia
- John Axford, RHP, Canada
- Santiago Casilla, RHP, Dominican Republic
- Khris Davis, OF, Mexico
Sonny is listed as part of the “Designated Pitcher Pool” for Team USA, meaning that he won’t be active in the first round of the tournament but will be eligible to join if they advance to the second round.
