President Donald Trump and his administration have decided to cancel a December deal that would have allowed MLB teams to sign Cuban players, according to the Washington Post.

The White House argued that the Cuban Baseball Federation was part of the Cuban government, which caused the deal to be nullified because trade with Cuba is currently banned.

Because - Russia - friend. Saudi Arabia - friend, but Cuban baseball players, unforgivable.

I wonder if a judge can overturn this one.

Here's three more recent signees.

Pablo Martinez RHP 6'3 190 8/29/00 DR
Edward Sosa RHP 5'11 165 5/26/00 DR

Another signing

Mauricio Lezama, LHP, 6'0 160 4/2/01 VZ

Another signing.

Erickson Ortega, RHP, 5'11 152 1/5/99 VZ

Thank you Keon Broxton?

I kind of doubt the Broxton deal had anything to do with this signing.

There's a certain low dollar figure that doesn't apply to the pool.

Off the top of my head I think it's under $50000.

Tiny 20 year olds rarely dig into the pool.

$10,000 and under.

Three late signings, announced on June 8. June 15 is the last day of the international signing period that started July 2, 2018. Not sure if the Mets have used any of the $500K acquired in the Keon Broxton trade.

Luis Moreno RHP 6'2 170 5/29/99 DR
Alan Ramirez LHP 5'10 205 7/20/99 DR
Ricardo Rodriguez RHP 5'10 177 8/11/99 DR

Mets sign 16 year old (17 in 2 days) Mexican catcher Fernando Villalobos and assign him to the DSL Mets1.

B/T L/R

6'0" 195.

#34th best international prospect by BA.
This is definetly where they spent the Broxton allocation.
