New York Times | Michael S. Schmidt: The Yankees were one of many teams vying to play an exhibition spring training game in Cuba next year. Ultimately, Commissioner Rob Manfred pulled a ball out of a bin (no, really) that had the name of the Tampa Bay Rays on it instead of the Yankees.

The game would most likely be against the Cuban national team in Havana, but it all hinges on an agreement between MLB and the Cuban government.
