That won't really happen until January or February.

MLB, they really still only post about the commitments for Team USA.

I think a lot of fans would love for them to start posting commitments from other teams, the other 19 teams, which is I think why my content popped off last WBC because I was sharing content for all 20 national teams.

So I think there's still a lot of growth to be had and more transparency into the process.

Um, cause it's still kind of murky on how the commitments work and how the rosters are held privately.

Um, but I think it's definitely improving.

It's just, it's a slow progression.

And it's like MLB will have, and I love that they do this, like they have a full on graphic that's edited.

They have a whole presentation at the MLB Awards for when Corbin Carroll and PCA and all these guys commit for Team USA.

But then the other 19 national teams, there's not really any announcements.

There's no dialogue being had in English.

Like the Japanese reporters will cover the Japanese team.

The Dominican reporters will cover the Dominican roster.

But MLB is made up of all of these different nations and territories and players from all around the world.

So I think maybe a missed opportunity or at least an opportunity to grow would be actually them announcing roster news

for all 20 countries.

People want to know that Bo Bichette has committed to play for Brazil.

We'll talk about more names in a bit, but those kind of guys that you wouldn't expect or you wouldn't know or

like team Taiwan I'm sure already has like most of their guys that they know are going to play it's an honor for those countries like those players from those countries to represent their national team so frankly it's a little less of a commitment and it's more everyone is committed and now it just depends on who those like managers are going to choose so I don't know I think it's an opportunity that MLB could grow on that front so along those lines let me ask you

So I'll give you two names that come to mind immediately that have just been on the top of my mind lately.
