GLENDALE, Ariz. — Playing in the World Baseball Classic comes with risk, especially of the injury variety. Seeing third baseman Yoan Moncada, who has had more than his share of bruises, pulls and strains, representing Cuba isn’t necessarily a win-win situation for the White Sox.
But Moncada fulling “a dream” fueled a desire to prepare and train in the offseason in a way he believes will bode well for his health and performance in 2023 following an offensive season in which he batted .212/.273/.353 with 12 homers in 104 games.
