At least you guys have Skenes who is by far the best American pitcher to have committed in the tournament's history.

It's a good start, but at most he's only pitching a handful of innings.  I'm hoping him being on the team compels some other big name pitchers to play and hopefully it's better than last time where American pitchers simply don't view the tournament as a priority and would rather spend that time in spring training getting ready for the season

Max Fried has already called himself out, just to say

Saw that one.  Would love for them to get Skubal, but I'm worried that his situation with the Tigers where they might trade him (but probably not) would prevent that from happening.
