Aroldis Chapman Denied Great Britain WBC Spot Over Eligibility Paperwork

Talkin’ Baseball reported Chapman wasn’t approved to pitch for Great Britain in the World Baseball Classic because his lineage-based documentation didn’t prove eligibility, per Chris Cotillo. Chapman reportedly received the offer in June and planned to accept, but the clearance never came through. The decision ends a potential WBC switch for the veteran reliever unless new paperwork satisfies tournament rules.
