<\/p>\nLAS VEGAS \u2013 Giants ace Logan Webb seems on his way to pitching for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.<\/p>\n
\u201cLogan Webb\u2019s participation is definitely something we are interested in,\u201d Team USA manager Mark DeRosa said. \u201cWe want him 100%. He would be a great addition if everything lined up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before any official announcement is made, procedural hurdles would need to be cleared, as is the case with any player that Team USA takes on from a Major League Baseball team.<\/p>\n
Since the season ended, Webb won a Gold Glove award and finished fourth in the National League Cy Young Award voting behind Paul Skenes, Cristopher Sanchez, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.<\/p>\n
Webb, who turns 29 on Tuesday, had planned to pitch for Team USA in the 2023 WBC but pulled back. He said at the time he hoped to pitch in a future WBC but that it was important to spend all of spring training with the Giants to help change the team\u2019s culture. He was on the verge of a contract extension back then, and ultimately received a deal that April for $90 million over five years.<\/p>\n

This year, the Giants will have a new manager, Tony Vitello, but don\u2019t appear to be in need of a drastic change of culture, which seems in a good place thanks to veteran leaders like Willy Adames, Matt Chapman, and Webb.<\/p>\n
Two names were added to the U.S. roster on Thursday, the final day of the GM meetings in Las Vegas: the Diamondbacks\u2019 Corbin Carroll and the Cubs\u2019 Pete Crow-Armstrong. They\u2019re joining Aaron Judge, Cal Raleigh, Bobby Witt Jr., and Paul Skenes, who had already committed. <\/p>\n
The Giants are hosting Team USA in a March 3 exhibition at Scottsdale Stadium, and the U.S. will play one more exhibition against the Rockies before opening pool play against Brazil March 6 in Houston. Great Britain, Mexico, and Italy are also in the first-round pool<\/p>\n
The quarterfinals are in Houston, and the semifinals and finals are in Miami.<\/p>\n
In the last WBC, Japan beat the U.S. in the finals 3-2 as Shohei Ohtani struck out then-Angels teammate Mike Trout to clinch the championship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LAS VEGAS \u2013 Giants ace Logan Webb seems on his way to pitching for Team USA in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":570677,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5311],"tags":[114685,32278,49,978,659],"class_list":{"0":"post-570676","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"tag-major-league-baseball","9":"tag-san-francisco-giants","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-us","12":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115550246718391384","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/570676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=570676"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/570676\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/570677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=570676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=570676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=570676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
