Mark DeRosa’s WBC Interview Reappears on MLB Website

Mark DeRosa’s recent MLB Network interview, in which he seemed unaware of the World Baseball Classic tiebreak rules, was temporarily removed by MLB following Team USA’s loss to Italy. DeRosa, who confirmed the team had clinched a quarterfinals spot, decided to rest key players, leading to an 8-6 defeat. After the game, he admitted to “misspeaking” about the tiebreaker situation. The loss complicates the U.S.’ chances of advancing, now reliant on other teams’ outcomes.
