A lot of the best minor leaguers are south of the border ... way south.

Team Canada is participating in the 2019 Pan American Games held in Lima, Peru, looking to three-peat. Canada won in 2011 beating Team USA in Mexico and four years ago they again defeated Team USA in Ajax, Ont.

We thought it was a good idea to provide the full roster of all personnel (and the professional and collegiate teams they are affiliated with in 2019) who will try to repeat as Pan Am Gold Medal winners.

All players with affiliated and/or independent teams have been placed on the temporary inactive lists by their respective teams.
