    Anyone know how Cuban players will be handled now?

    Wet foot/dry foot gone.

    They can still claim asylum in the US.

    Will they go into the international f/a pool? Are they off limits? Some other process?

    No there's already a big moat around Cuba. No need for a wall

    No need for that with embargo getting lifted.

    An embargo has nothing to do with asylum

    I don't see how it would necessarily change. I thought almost every Cuban defector went to some Caribbean nation first and worked through paperwork for coming to the US from there.
