The
Baseball Federation of Cuba
(
Spanish

Federacion Cubana de Beisbol
, FCB) is the governing body of the sport of
baseball in Cuba
.

History
[
edit
]
The Baseball Federation of Cuba was established in 1938.
[3]
The professional
Cuban League
was dismantled in 1961, following the
Cuban Revolution
. It was replaced by the amateur
Cuban baseball league system
, administered by the Baseball Federation of Cuba. The
Cuban National Series
has operated as the primary baseball league in Cuba since then.
In late 2018, an agreement was reached between
Major League Baseball
(MLB), the
Major League Baseball Players Association
(MLBPA), and the Baseball Federation of Cuba. The agreement created a legal path for Cuban baseball players to sign with MLB teams without having to
defect
.
[4]
However, the agreement was ruled illegal and was negated in April 2019.
