BOCA RATON – The Chicago Cubs are one of several teams who have expressed interest in playing spring training games in Cuba in 2016 if the league can work out the details.
“MLB is exploring the possibility of a spring training game against the Cuban national team,” Theo Epstein said on Wednesday. “If and when MLB approves that and the league moves forward we would be one of many candidates to play in that game.”
Epstein indicated the games would probably occur towards the end of spring training which could become a logistical problem considering the Cubs open the season in California after spending February and March in Mesa, Az.
