Port Dover's John Axford, a reliever with the Milwaukee Brewers, is among 23 players on a list submitted by Baseball Canada to World Baseball Classic, Inc., which is expected to officially announce rosters for the event on Thursday evening on MLB Network, according to MLB.com
The website said that Axford is among 12 players who appeared in Major League Baseball in 2012 -- others include Justin Morneau of the Twins, Russell Martin of the Pirates, Jesse Crain of the White Sox, Michael Saunders of the Mariners and Brett Lawrie of the Blue Jays. Lawrie, the former Brewers prospect traded to Toronto for Shaun Marcum in December 2010, also played in the WBC in 2009.
Canada will play a pair of exhibitions in Arizona to warm up for the WBC, including a March 5 game at Maryvale Baseball Park against the Brewers. The Canadian team then opens the WBC against Italy on March 8.
