#SFGiants Johnny Cueto said he would have pitched Tuesday’s semifinal game for the Dominican Republic against Japan, had his country beaten #TeamUSA on Saturday to advance to the final round.

Instead, he is hearing it from fans back home for not participating earlier in the tournament – even though it’s well documented that the right-hander reported late because of his father’s health issues.

“There’s a lot of talk back home that I didn’t want to pitch for the Dominican team because I’m making too much money,” Cueto said. “Why? There are players making more money than me, like (Robinson) Canó.

“Everybody should know I didn’t go because I wasn’t ready to pitch at that level. I reported late and I couldn’t just go out there and put my baseball career in jeopardy because my arm wasn’t ready.”

“I truly wanted to represent my country. I’m sure that goes for everybody who wants to represent their flag.” #MLB #teamdominican #WBC #WBC2017 #SFGRumors
