And it's interesting because they're both eligible for similar teams.
One that's committed and one that hasn't.
So Jack Caglioni said that he is going to be playing for Team Italy.
I mean, that makes sense with his last name.
I don't think it's a surprise to anybody.
But when asked about why he chose to play for Italy, he said like he had considered and been reached out to by Puerto Rico because his mom's from Puerto Rico.
Yeah.
It's just they reached out a little bit later than Italy did.
Italy's been talking to him for a couple of years about playing.
And so he's eligible and he's said he's playing for Italy.
Another player, though, that has not committed that I think a lot of people are very interested to see what he's going to do, especially after the World Series, is Springer is eligible for three different countries.
Obviously, the U.S.,
Because he's born here.
Right.
But his mom is from Puerto Rico.
Yeah.
And his dad is from – his grandfather on his dad's side is from Panama.
So because of that, he is – I mean, he's half Panamanian, half Puerto Rican, full American.
He could play for any of the countries he wanted, any of those three.
But, I mean, we'll see.
