Cuba's best baseball player sits on a sofa at home, talking about his dreams to play MLB. He is wearing workout clothes, but it is unclear whether he's heading to the gym or has just returned.

Cuban players older than age 25 and with six years of service in the Cuban league would have been free to sign with MLB teams. Younger players would have needed Cuban baseball’s permission to leave.

Border officials and RCMP are searching for a Cuban baseball player who disappeared just before the final gold medal game at an international tournament in Prince George, B.C.
