GettyOn Monday, the Trump administration canceled a deal between Major League Baseball and the Cuban Baseball Federation that would have helped stop human trafficking and the abuse of players. Now that the administration has scuttled the deal, Cuban players seeking to play in the majors will have to continue making treacherous journeys to the United States. Dealing with the exploitation of smugglers and unscrupulous agencies will finally come to an end for the Cuban baseball player. The agreement created two categories of players, those deemed "FCB Professional" players and those deemed "FCB Amateurs." If the Trump administration refuses to change course on this deal, the only hope left for Cuban players is that MLB and the administration can find an alternative path forward.
