Joe Cubas
Joe Cubas is an agent known for bringing Cuban players to the USA. He has drawn negative press attention for lying about player's ages, the circumstances of their departure from Cuba (usually making them seem more heroic) and their national team presence. Several players such as Livan Hernandez, Vladimir Nunez and Larry Rodriguez all switched agents within a year of arriving in the USA. Livan and his brother Orlando Hernandez are among the most prominent players represented by Cubas.
