Jerry Crasnick of ESPN reported Saturday that Michael Young will not be participating in the World Baseball Classic, opting instead to spend the entire spring in camp with the Phillies.
Young was unlikely to be selected for a spot on Team USA, but there had been rumblings that he would suit up for Mexico since his mother is of Mexican descent. Instead, the veteran infielder will use the spring to get himself acclimated to his new team.
