Chris Colabello to play for Italy in World Baseball Classic

33-year-old first baseman Chris Colabello will play for Italy in the 2017 World Baseball Classic. The slugger of the Toronto Blue Jays saw his 2016 season abruptly coming to a halt after getting suspended by MLB for 80 games following testing positive for an anabolic steroid. He returned at the end of the season, but didn’t make the postseason roster. Colabello grew up in Italy, as his father pitched in the Italian Baseball League. Italy will compete against Puerto Rico, Mexico and Venezuela in the first round of the 2017 WBC.
