Minnesota Twins star Justin Morneau has confirmed with Team Canada officials that he’ll represent his home country in March’s World Baseball Classic. It will be the second time the New Westminster, British Columbia has played for the Canadians in the WBC.
The left-handed-batting first baseman finished second in American League Most Valuable Player balloting this year after hitting .300 with 23 homers and 129 RBIs. Morneau led the AL with 163 games played and 16 intentional walks, finishing second in RBIs. He won the MVP trophy in 2006.
Morneau may be joined by a Twins teammate in the WBC. Toronto native Jesse Crain, a right-handed middle reliever, is a candidate for the final Team Canada roster. Crain was 5-4 with a 3.59 ERA and no saves in 66 appearances for the Twins.
