I'm sure I am missing a few commitments. The pitching staff will be the most difficult to complete, as it's the pitchers who will be impacted the most by all the extra stress.
The World Baseball Classic will happen in March in venues all over the world. The USA won the last tournament in 2017.
If you happen to be a baseball fan, this will be must see TV. The Latin American games (Puerto Rico, The Dominican, Cuba, Venezuela, etc) are especially worth the watch,

I'll try to keep this thread going by posting similar information for at least some of the more talented teams.
Mark is really taking his job seriously and is putting together a monster team!
