I didn't think about this issue until this morning, which prompting me to look for an article on the issue.

What about the risk of Cuban defectors?

Contreras and El Duque are probably revered by some (if not all) of the players on the Cuba squad.

Bringing Cuba to the states INSTANTLY means defections... of the whole team, perhaps?

Would Castro want to risk that?
