Pete Alonso Says Family Timing Kept Him Out of WBC
Alonso said Team USA never asked him to play in this year’s World Baseball Classic, though the Orioles slugger likely would have declined anyway. “My wife and I were first-time parents, new team,” he said. Team Italy also reached out, but Alonso added that the tournament “wasn’t the year to do it” because of his personal circumstances.
