Team Canada's chances at the World Baseball Classic got a big boost on Tuesday.
That's when they officially learned that Josh and Bo Naylor will both be suiting up for their country at the WBC.
It's a combo deal for the Canadians.

The brothers used to play together for the Cleveland Guardians, but they've been split up, so this will be a chance for them to don the same uniform again.
Older brother Josh went to the Arizona Diamondbacks to begin the 2025 season, but he ended it with the Seattle Mariners after being moved again at the trade deadline.
Josh re-signed this offseason with Seattle for five years and $92 million, so he's paying when the brothers go out to dinner.
Bo is the starting catcher for the Guardians, and in the second half of the 2025 season, his bat started to come around.

Both Naylor brothers swing left-handed.
For Team Canada, Bo will be behind the dish and Josh should hold down the fort at first base or play DH, just as they do in the major leagues.
The big waiting game for Canada comes with another first baseman, Freddie Freeman, who wants to play but will first need to ensure he's healthy to get out there.
