Provisional 45-man rosters for each of the 16 teams participating in the World Baseball Classic will be released on Monday night at 6 p.m. ET. That will mark 45 days to the start of the tournament, which runs from March 5-23 and will be played in seven venues in four countries or territories. This year more than 600 players inquired about filling what will ultimately be a maximum of 448 spots. As with the inaugural 2006 Classic, this is the only international tournament in which players on the 25-man roster of each Major League team can participate. "Obviously, I have not had an opportunity to represent our team in the Olympics, and this is the closest I'll ever get," said Yankees' shortstop Derek Jeter, who has committed for the second time to the U.S. team. "But there is a lot of pride there."
