@JoelCressman I don't know about 'mystery' part but 'international' for sure. I've spent about half of 2026 so far outside Korea

Of course, this is all assuming that Korea will lose to Japan and then beat Chinese Taipei to go into that Monday game with a 2-1 record, and that Aussies will also lose to Japan but beat Czechia to also go 2-1 before Monday. As they say, anything can happen!

Ultimately, I do think Korea is good enough to qualify for the quarterfinals. With Australia having won its first game, the second seed behind Japan will likely come down to the Korea-Australia game on Monday.

🧵Some Team Korea notes at #WorldBaseballClassic the major early storyline has been the presence of U.S.-born players with Korean mothers: Shay Whitcomb, Jahmai Jones and Dane Dunning. Both Whitcomb and Jones homered in the win over Czechia. Dunning will get a start soon.

Japan really loves its baseball. This was at the Miyazaki airport.

Very nice of @sportsnetkyle to give me a shoutout on 32 Thoughts from Milan. That's one of the big highlights of my career! 😀 Kyle was super nice when we chatted a couple days ago at the hockey arena. Never imagined I'd get mentioned on the podcast. So floored...

@ThBoneOfMySword I guess they tried that with HSK too? Good thing they kept him in the infield, though 😅

@Jeeho_1 Padres tend to say that about every utility player they aquire regardless of having OF experience. Sometimes it does happen sometimes it doesn't

Sung-Mun Song just had a Zoom presser with #Padres media and some Korean journos, joined by A.J. Preller and Craig Stammen as well. Found it interesting that Stammen mentioned the possibility of playing Song in the outfield, though he's never played there in his KBO days.

Stammen then said, "When our big boys need a little bit of a blow, he can fill in at third base and play Major League-caliber third base really easily. Gve Manny DH days and we have two productive hitters in the lineup."

Earlier, Stammen cited the Dodgers as an example of a championship team that has "parts that are movable," using Kike, Rojas and Edman all over the field. "And we see (Song) as being able to do that, to play third base, second base, some first base, maybe some outfield."
