JUPITER, Fla. — Carrying two big, red World Baseball Classic bags crammed full of gear, one hitched over each of the boulders he wears for shoulders, Tyler O’Neill returned to Roger Dean Stadium early Friday morning.
“There he is!” a teammate said as Team Canada’s WBC MVP walked through the clubhouse door.

There has been so much talk this week about if the WBC is good or bad for MLB players. Duque Hebbert of Nicaragua earned himself a contract with the Tigers because of an impressive WBC outing. Mets closer Edwin Diaz saw his MLB season end before it started due to a freak accident sustained during Puerto Rico’s on-field WBC celebration.
