“Revolutionaries”? I donno … Name’s is too long, with too many syllables (kind of like “Metropolitans”.) Maybe can be condensed to something like “Revs”, but coming up with an appropriate mascot with the team name that wouldn’t incense many of the folks north of the Florida Straits may be problematic.
A few day ago, I suggested Havana Cigars. Tradition removes the home town name so they could be called the Cigars. If they lose then they could be called the Butts.
No, No, it’s only fair that they be called the “Fidels”.That way they could refer to the Team by stroking their Chins as if they were pulling on a Beard….Unless you prefer the “Guevaras” … .Cruel leaders are replaced only to have new leaders turn cruel.
Ahhh, no way does MLB put a team in Cuba. I wouldn’t even put a AAA team in Havana. If people thought Puerto Rico’s economy was bad when they were looking for a new home for the Expos…

Make it a condition that the team has to be called “The Defectors.”

Call them “the Yankees”. If they miss the playoffs, at the end of the season, they can “go home”. And if some of them don’t, the name still fits.

Los Guantanameros might be appropriate
