Actually this book, Pinstripe Defection, is a story of how the Yankees skirted the rules with bribes and under-the-table deals in signing Cuban baseball defectors, focusing particularly on the case of former Rays catcher Michel Hernandez.

The book was written by a guy who currently resides in my hometown and is being self-published, so I thought I'd give it a plug here. It could make for good off-season reading for hard core baseball fans interested in the transactional side of baseball.
