In August, MLB barred major and minor league players from participating in the local LVBP league pending authorization from the U.S. government. The U.S. Treasury Department granted a license to the sanctions allowing U.S. individuals to conduct transactions with the LVBP earlier in December. Baseball is wildly popular in the South American country. Major league teams often recruit star Venezuelan players, who then work their way up through the minor league systems. They frequently return home to play in the LVBP during the MLB off-season, but this year’s season began late and attendance has dropped due to the absence of high-level players.
After receiving the sanctions exemption last month, MLB sent its member clubs a notice saying players could play for six of the eight teams. Two teams, the Tigres de Aragua and Navegantes de Magallanes, were excluded from Treasury’s sanctions exemption, without explanation.
