Russell Martin will not play shortstop for Team Canada.
The catcher will not play at all in the World Baseball Classic.
Martin is picking up his shin guards, chest protector, jock and staying at McKechnie Field, spring home of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
“No WBC for me,” said Martin, seated outside the Pirates clubhouse Sunday afternoon.
