Wells likely out of Classic
Due to some paperwork issues, Vernon Wells probably won’t be suiting up for Team USA during the World Baseball Classic. Wells has been waiting two weeks for an update, but is starting to think it’s not going to happen.
“Right now, I’m under the impression that I’m not playing,” he said on Friday.
Wells said he exceeded the number of days allowed to be on the disabled list in the previous season for participating players. He noted that each player also requires insurance and there have been issues with that due to the size of his contract with Toronto.

As I recall, Wells had a very poor showing the last WBC. In general, it was just a very difficult thing for players to be put right in the middle of highly competitive baseball at the outset of the season. Wells has typically been a slow starter.
