The Dodgers won’t be hit too hard by the upcoming World Baseball Classic. Each of the 16 participating nations released a 45-man provisional roster on Monday — those rosters will be cut to 28 by Feb. 24 — and Broxton (USA) and Martin (Canada) were the only frontline Dodgers players who appeared on any of them.
Also appearing were two non-roster invitees to big-league spring training in pitcher Brian Mazone and outfielder Valentino Pascucci, both of whom showed up on Italy’s provisional roster, as well as top shortstop prospect Ivan De Jesus Jr. (Puerto Rico) and minor-league catcher Kenley Jansen (Netherlands).
