Terrible news: Venezuela WBC manager Omar Lopez has confirmed that multiple players have dropped out of the roster for non-injury reasons.
English translation of the short article:
>Just a few months before the start of the competition, the manager of the Venezuelan national baseball team, Omar López, acknowledged that assembling the roster for the 2026 World Baseball Classic will not be an easy task, anticipating that there will be player losses, even from those who have no restrictions to participate in the tournament.
>“There are key players who have left,” López stated during the X program “La Tertulia,” hosted by journalist Jorge Urribarrí. The Venezuelan strategist avoided mentioning names, but made it clear that the team's structure faces additional obstacles this season.
>On March 6, Venezuela will begin its participation in a highly competitive group alongside the Dominican Republic, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, and Israel.
>The Venezuelan team already knows what it's like to overcome tough rivals: in the previous edition they finished the group stage undefeated, with victories over Dominicans and Puerto Ricans, before falling in the quarterfinals against the United States, after Trea Turner's memorable Grand Slam.
So far, per my knowledge only Salvy, Tovar, Acuna, and maybe Altuve are confirmed. Of course, any of them could have dropped out.
