Joe Torre and Dave Winfield will be leading a baseball goodwill tour of Cuba this month.
Major League Baseball and the Players Association said Thursday the trip, which is set to run from Dec. 15-18, will include children’s clinics and a charity event.
Torre is the chief baseball officer and Winfield is the union’s special adviser. They will be joined by current players, a group that has not yet been announced.
This is M.L.B.’s first visit to Cuba since the Baltimore Orioles played an exhibition game against the Cuban national team in 1999. There is a possibility the Tampa Bay Rays will play a spring training game in Cuba next year.
