Some big news on the international baseball market came out on an otherwise quiet Wednesday around the league. According to CiberCuba, MLB, the MLB Players Association and the Cuban Baseball Federation have agreed on a new system for posting players that come from the Caribbean island. MLB later confirmed the new deal. Cuba joins professional leagues in Japan, Korea and China that have agreed to posting rules with MLB. Under these new rules, any Cuban player who has played in the FCB for at least six years and is at least 25 years old will be considered a free agent and can sign with any major-league team.
