  • Curtailing Mlbâ•Žs Recruiting Abuses of Latin American Talent
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Michigan State University College of Law: Digital Commons CURTAILING MLB’S RECRUITING ABUSES OF LATIN AMERICAN TALENT Angela White* Baseball is an integral part of America’s social fabric, and as such, it has always reflected the language of America. In this time of globalization, when corporations are criticized for exploiting cheap sources of labor in developing countries, the exploitative nature of Major League Baseball’s (“MLB”) recruiting practices in Latin America seem to be overlooked. While the wealth of talent coming from Latin America demonstrates its importance to MLB, MLB has failed to adequately address the issues facing Latin American recruits. Even though MLB is not responsible for the socioeconomic inequalities that place it in a better bargaining position, MLB should be held accountable for the exploitative nature of its practices. I.
