Joey Votto will play for Canada in the World Baseball Classic.
Votto needed to pass a physical before being cleared to play, and he had been wavering on whether or not to participate, but he's ultimately decided to represent his native country. The former NL MVP has admitted that his surgically-repaired knee doesn't quite feel normal yet, but he's been given a clean bill of health and it shouldn't really be a concern on draft day.
