Like all people, Cuban baseball players should be free to negotiate their own terms and wages. MLB's reported proposal to cede their rights to the regime in Cuba, which profits from the players' labor, institutionalizes their exploitation.

Thankfully, we have a president who stands in solidarity with the Cuban people. I am confident that he will not facilitate any exploitative agreement to benefit a regime with an egregious human rights record, and that opposes U.S. interests around the world.

Deje de ser necio y trate de pensar aunque sea una sola vez en la vida en el pueblo de cuba y no en su beneficio personal. Si no va a ayudar, APARTESE.

Ya no se cual de las dos ideologías es más recarsitrante, si la de ustedes o la de los Castros. Al final siempre el perjudicado es el pueblo cubano.

Yeah, better that Cuban players be eaten by sharks, right? Contemptible, pandering, time-warp jackass: this commonsensical agreement is long overdue. Only thing better wld be giving Havana its own MLB team too.
