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.

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.
