Many believe that the Cuban Baseball Federation’s intentions are too pessimistic. The duplicity lies in their desire to bring in professional Cuban baseball players who had fled the country and were (often) labeled traitors and censored by the official media.
Yes, the government agency always insisted that those same players couldn’t play for Cuba because, in short, “MLB didn’t allow it.”
