With Castro supposedly resigning and the possibility of a democratic Cuba will we be seeing more Cuban baseball players coming our way?

Yes.
I am not sure brother Raul will change things, but Cuba cannot go on the way it is in the real world anymore.

Nothing changes unless we lift the embargo.
The agreement that Kennedy made with Krushev, in addition to removing our missles from Turkey, protects Castro and his government from US intrusion.
I don't imagine anything will change until Castro dies.

The last I heard Raul was not even going to be involved in the transition, that is if you can trust CNN and Fox news

We can trust CNN and FOX for world news but for ESPN who specializes in sports, it's as bad as the National Enquirer? I'll forgive you on that one. 
Cuban Americans do not want invasion. I agree 100% with lifting the embargo. We do business with everyone else, why not. Because we felt the embargo would break Castro, NOT. I think that we have contributed to nations decline, and I will agree I may feel that way due to many cuban american friends who long for their homeland, family and friends they left behind.
Anyway, to get to the original point, I wouldn;t be surprised if MLB teams already have plans in place for cuba and just playing the waiting game like every other big business in America.

Put your freaking reading glasses on---read what I posted "if you can trust CNN and Fox news"--
Please do not let your despising me blind your logic---I didn't bring up politics --I posed a question regarding Cuban baseball players coming to play---I like to stay away from religion and politics

I'm pretty sure that the MLB has gotten any player they wanted out of Cuba, and in many cases the player's families as well.
I for one hope that if anything, the MLB would start a Cuban minor league as they did in Venezuela and Mexico.
I'd hate to see opportunities limited further for US citizens in the game.

Forget that.
The Best player play's.
I'm Sorry I'm not willing to conside anything to any Country,
Concerning baseball Talent.
The Best Players can and will come from the United States.
And it will happen in the future as well.

over the years i have worked in the bwi and carribean. i have worked with many cubans and other than a few military things,they don't think it's bad. they even seem happy but then again maybe they don't know how bad they have it. a simple life they lead, but looks to be happy.

Mr. Hit,
It's fine to stay away from "religion". Just don't stay away from a "relationship". I would stay away from religion, too. It's all about a personal relationship. There is a HUGE difference between religion and a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Sorry, but I just couldn't resist a chance to put that out there. I'm not trying to push Christianity down your throat I promise!
Amen OP.
Why would they come over here anyway? They drive the coolest cars there.
And the pace of life is a tad slower. Let's put it this way. The next time somebody calls IT tech support with a hardware or software problem, it'll be the first time.
Does anyone know how many pro quality players under 25 there are, 50-100 maybe?

Where did that come from/
I made a general statement regarding religion and politics and my feelings

I know! Just wanted to get that off my chest!
"Ahhh...Jesus, I like him very much. But he no help me hit fastball. I ask for Joboo to come".
Sorry. Couldn't resist.
