Former Baseball: Lucroy to catch for Team USA in World Baseball Classic / MLB.com | Rangers catcher Jonathan Lucroy will play for Team USA in the 2017 World Baseball Classic, according to MLB Network contributor Joel Sherman. The 30-year-old catcher, who was traded to Texas from the Brewers just prior to the non-waiver Trade Deadline on Aug. 1, will be participating in his second WBC tournament, also having competed for Team USA in 2013. Lucroy hit .292/.355/.500 with 24 home runs and 81 RBIs overall in 2016, his seventh Major League season. In three games during the ’13 WBC, the two-time All-Star went 2-for-5 with an RBI as Team USA was eliminated by Puerto Rico in the second round.
