Jason Motte has turned down an invitation to pitch for Team USA in the 2013 World Baseball Classic.
Motte's wife is pregnant with the couple's first child and is due in late January. So the 30-year-old closer will remain around Jupiter, Florida all spring. He posted a stellar 2.75 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 86/17 K/BB ratio in 72 innings last season, saving 42 games in 49 opportunities.
