The agreement would have allowed baseball players from Cuba to play for MLB teams without defecting.
The administration of President Donald Trump has opted to move against allowing an agreement that would have allowed Cuban baseball players to play for Major League Baseball teams without defecting.
MLB and the CBF reached a historic agreement in December that would allow players to come to the U.S. via a work visa with MLB teams paying the CBF for the players’ rights. But because trade with the Cuban government is illegal under U.S. law, the agreement was essentially canceled. — Jeff Passan April 8, 2019 MLB sought to prevent high-risk defectionsThe frightening experiences Cuban players like Yasiel Puig and Leonys Martin were behind MLB’s pursuit of this agreement. Both players, like so many of their Cuban brethren in years past, went to extreme lengths to leave Cuba for the chance to play professional baseball in the United States. Martin, an outfielder for the Cleveland Indians, was kidnapped.
