Melky Mesa has told Team Dominican Republic that he plans on backing out of the World Baseball Classic. The Yankees did not urge Mesa to back out and actually encouraged it but Mesa instead wants to use the time to try and win the starting left field job for the Yankees. Much like Francisco Cervelli putting the starting catching job ahead of an exhibition tournament Mesa is putting the big league club before the WBC.
