It's the first season since Communist authorities lifted a 50-year-old ban on players' signing professional contracts abroad. The move could bring even more Cuban defections to the U.S. major leagues, but fans on the island aren't booing the change. One of the regular combatants here, Jesus Sosa, says there are few doubts that more Cubans will end up leaving for bigger pay and the chance to play at the game's highest level in the U.S. "That's where the best baseball is played," Sosa says. "Maybe more Cubans can now play in Mexico or Japan, but the top players from those leagues also go to the United States." Rey Estrada watched the whole thing and says Cuban fans will soon be like Dominicans or Venezuelans, rooting for their players even when they no longer compete at home.
