It doesn’t sound like there was too long of a conversation between Netherlands manager Andruw Jones and Diamondbacks prospect Druw Jones about teaming up in the World Baseball Classic.
“We, obviously like our relationship, we just joke back and forth all the time. He’s like, ‘You got to come play for me, blah, blah, blah, blah.’ So I was like, ‘Yeah, I just got to wait on the team’s approval on everything.’ And I was super pumped up to get the opportunity,” Druw Jones told Arizona Sports.
The Jones’ make up the first father-son, manager-player duo in WBC history.
