Chapter 733 Don't look at the termination of the agreement

At the end of last year, the major leagues announced the signing of a player contract agreement with the Cuban Baseball Association, so that Cuban players can play in the United States without having to defect.

(There were several incidents related to this before in the book, and the author once thought about how to write this question in the future. But I still sincerely hope that the plan can be implemented. It is really painful for those players who are separated from their loved ones!)

(Don’t mention the danger of the defection process, it’s so heartbreaking to just not be able to go back! Cuban Missile Chapman’s experience at the time...although it’s been a little better in the past two years)

But things are definitely out of play today!It is April 4th ​​as I write this chapter.

That is, today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control warned the major leagues that this agreement is illegal and must be revoked immediately.

How many players cheered this agreement, it can prevent Cuban players from defecting, and the Cuban baseball circle will not have to face the loss of talent, and the fear of going to a game abroad.

A bunch of people came to the United States through human trafficking groups to play. Refer to the beast Puig who just passed the 1 pick 25 to clear the bench. So far, no one knows whose pockets the tens of millions of dollars went into. (Of course, privately everyone knows that Puig is very rich).Where does the money come from?The person who can swallow 4500 million US dollars alone among the two black forces is really terrible, and he sent people to prison by the way, and one of them died!
Never fight with puig!

Speaking of the agreement last year, the implementation method can refer to the player contract agreement between the major leagues and the Japanese baseball organization, the Chinese Professional Baseball Association, and the Korean Baseball Committee.The main difference is that MLB pays the player's home team some transfer fees in several other countries, while Cuba pays the Cuban Baseball Association.

Cuba's sports talent drain is really scary!
On April 4, the capital of the Cuban Baseball Association announced the opening of the list of players signed by major league teams. Today, blabla was told that the reason was that the payment to the Cuban Baseball Association was not authorized, because as long as the payment is made to the Cuban Baseball Association Just payments to the Cuban government'? excuse me?

As we all know, because of the embargo imposed by the United States on Cuba, Cuban players cannot directly join the major leagues.They all set foot on American soil by smuggling. (This point has been written before, so I won’t repeat it here.)
During Mao Zedong's tenure, he tried to change the diplomatic relations between the two sides, but obviously Mao Zedong did not intend to continue after he came to power.

The major leagues stated that they had been in continuous and frequent contact with the U.S. government on this matter at the time of the signing, and had obtained a signing permit from the Bureau of Foreign Assets Control during Trump’s tenure. efficient.

(Nonsense, the legal advisers at the top of the major leagues are so smart that they might make such a low-level mistake.)
However, when signing the agreement, many people speculated that the agreement might be required to be revoked later. As expected, today... they were told by the Bureau of Foreign Assets Control that they would change their previous decision.

According to a Reuters report, a senior official disclosed privately (usually this is an official private disclosure), the signing of the current government task is based on the Communist regime's wrong judgment that the Cuban Baseball Association is not the Cuban Communist government a part of.

(The United States did not want to bring these countries down once, twice, three times or four times. Countries without nuclear bombs can only consider themselves unlucky.)
Officials also said the deal would make the players a human-trafficking tool and pawns of the Cuban government's authoritarian regime. (What bullshit!) Despotism everywhere with the dog head of democracy!

NSC spokesman Garrett Marquis added: "The United States does not support a system that institutionalizes the Cuban government's practice of withholding wages from hard-working athletes who want to live in a free society. The government looks forward to working with the major leagues and finding out how individual liberties are available to Cuban players And benefited for his talents, not the way he became the property of the Cuban government."

Major league officials issued a statement saying they supported the agreement's goal of ending human trafficking in Cuban baseball players.Slap directly in the face.

The Cuban Baseball Association also took to Twitter to say that the agreement with the major leagues is to end human trafficking, encourage cooperation and improve baseball.Any thoughts to the contrary are fake news (ha ha ha ~ too direct), politically motivated attacks on this agreement, hurting the players as well as their families and fans.

Think about the Victor brothers signed by the Marlins?Why is the Florida population so large?Does the U.S. government not know?dumbass!

……

By the way, let's see how ridiculous baseball is. Again, I said that I blacked NPB and Japanese players. Today, I will take major league players as an example to show that I am really not black!

Examples of facts.

Trevor Rosenthal is an old man of the Cardinals, he can be regarded as a star terminator, a typical fireball man.

Although the author himself never thinks about the fireball, a bunch of starters who don't deliberately suppress the ball speed are also very popular, let alone the bullpen.

The Terminator has faced 9 people since the beginning of the season and has not resolved any of them. (April 4th, not sure if emmm will be added or terminated tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.)
Tie the 24-year record, bear 7 points of self-blame, you can think of other data according to 99.99.

在经历了18年的TJ手术而整个赛季报销之后今年以700万美刀附带20年选择权的短约加盟华盛顿国民。四缝线球速倒是仍然又95-100迈，但控球出了大问题。（觉得还是可以修正，毕竟去年被笑飞的hicks都已经通神了。）
How ridiculous is the data of the great gods with more than 400 K in the past?Let’s take this example, as long as he gets another out, his ERA will be 189~~~~
In addition, Chris Davis, the past home run king of the American League.Not the one with the K, well, that one is also the home run king.The two seasons went 0-44 head to tail. (I think it's pitiful, but I can understand it? People are so unlucky that they really drank cold water and stuffed their teeth. Molina's 3 goals today are so strong that they all go straight into the glove? I hope these two will work hard.)
davis13赛季打出53轰，15赛季47轰，拿下两次美联的1来的王，于是2016年与巴尔的摩金莺签下了7年1.61亿美刀的肥约，鬼知道现在变成了超级电风扇~
Since the start of this year's season, Davis has played 7 games with 19 at-bats and hasn't hit any hits. I think it's understandable. Molina's first 7 games are also all kinds of bad.

Let's keep going.

In addition, because the major league is in an embarrassing stage of inherent conservatism and vigorous reform, all issues that will affect it in the future will be discussed in a separate chapter, after all, the impact is quite large.

Just like the issue of smuggling in Cuba, if the agreement is passed, the issues I wrote before will have to be revisited.

Now that the agreement has not been passed, the content of the previous outline can continue.

Thank you for your understanding.
