Stanton announces he will represent USA at WBC

Team USA just picked up a massive reinforcement for the World Baseball Classic.

Miami Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton announced Tuesday he'll be suiting up again in the Red, White, and Blue for the international competition which begins in March:

Stanton's offensive firepower is a boost to a stacked Team USA outfield already confirmed to consist of Adam Jones, Andrew McCutchen, and Marlins teammate Christian Yelich. Stanton slashed .250/.326/.489 last season with Miami including 27 home runs and 74 RBIs in 119 games.

Team USA will open their tournament March 10 at Marlins Park - Stanton's home stadium - against Colombia. It will be the slugger's second time representing the country after having done so in the 2013 edition.
