GUADALAJARA, Mexico — Two questions remain constant during the 2017 World Baseball Classic, the fourth installment of the tournament: Who will win? No player on the U.S. team has taken part in all four tournaments, while Puerto Rico, for example, will have four four-time participants by the time this Classic concludes. “Any chance that comes your way to represent your country, you have to do it because you’re highlighting your country,” Reyes said in Spanish last week. Puerto Rico, in addition to Reyes, has relievers J.C. Romero and Orlando Roman and catcher Yadier Molina making their fourth appearance. On Friday night, Puerto Rico defeated Venezuela, 11-0, which had first baseman Miguel Cabrera and reliever Francisco Rodriguez playing in their fourth tournament.
