The article I read was “Cuba strikes out as it tries to keep its ballplayers home” The date of the article was October 1, 2014. For the past fifteen years, Cuba has tried to keep their baseball players in Cuba. The level of play is dropping because all the best players are fleeing to the United State. This has been happening for the past fifteen years. Many have had to leave Cuba illegally and they could never return back. They left in hopes of making a lot of money.

If the players would stay in Cuba then the level of play would be higher and they could make more money. The author was unbiased. I think Cuba should let their players play in America. My classmate Josh thinks that if they are not making enough money in Cuba, then they should be allowed to play in the United States.
