I asked Dana Brown about Brown’s decision + @astros WBC participation. Seems like Astros don’t love players taking part, but don’t have “final say.”

“We tell our guys, ‘look, if you want to participate, if that's what their prerogative is, you can do that.’ Some guys that suffer different injuries or different things like that, we might have a slightly different opinion, but we don't have the final say."
