Cespedes to meet with Marlins on Wednesday

"Cuban sensation Yoenis Cespedes has received a travel visa and is scheduled to meet with the Miami Marlins on Wednesday, according to sources.

The free-agent outfielder was to leave the Dominican Republic and arrive in Miami on Tuesday. He and his agent, Adam Katz of Wasserman Media Group, will meet with Marlins officials, after which Cespedes is expected to remain in the United States for about a week to meet with other teams and undergo physicals given by his agency.

Despite being declared a free agent on Jan. 25, the 26-year-old Cespedes, who established temporary residency in the Dominican Republic in January, has not been legally cleared by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, Katz told MLB Network Radio earlier this week. A source confirmed on Tuesday that the slugger had not yet been "unblocked" by the OFAC. "
