It’s possible that former Canyon del Oro infielder Ian Kinsler, who is 34, and ex-Sahuaro outfielder Alex Verdugo, 20, could play against one another next month. Kinsler is part of the Team USA roster for the World Baseball Classic. Verdugo is one of four outfielders on Team Mexico’s roster. If their teams advance from their first-round groups, they would be scheduled to be part of the San Diego field March 14-19.
