Brayan Bello’s place on Team Dominican Republic’s 2026 World Baseball Classic roster is officially official. “The Kid from Samaná is heading to the Classic,” the Dominican team’s official X account posted in Spanish on Thursday morning. The Red Sox right-hander also confirmed the news at Fenway Fest earlier this month. He will earn $6.16 million this season, but the average annual value of his contract counts for $9.16 million of Boston’s luxury tax payroll. The Red Sox have also fielded calls from teams interested in acquiring him.
