I know a lot of baseball players defect from Cuba to play in the MLB but what exactly is the process? Obviously you have to find a way out of the country but what happens once you reach the new country? Are you just able to get residency? Do you claim asylum or something?

Cuba is/was a special case in the asylum process.
Up until 2017-ish the US had a process on the books where any Cuban who was opposed to their government could legally immigrate to the US if they could physically make it here.
