James Wood on Shortlist for Team USA WBC Roster

Washington Nationals star left fielder James Wood is reportedly on the shortlist to replace the injured Corbin Carroll for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. Wood, entering his age 23 season, brings significant left-handed power, having hit 31 homers with an .825 OPS in his first full big league season. While not a lock, his inclusion would offer a valuable opportunity to learn from veteran stars like Aaron Judge and complement the existing outfielders.
