Politics impact on Baseball

I was just reading that Chavez is expelling the United States Ambassador from Venezuela and it is predicted that The United States will expel the Venezuelan diplomatic contingent soon.

With that said, how do you believe this will impact the game of Baseball...yeah, I know in the grand scheme of things it is insignificant but with regards to Winter ball, and the large number of players from Venezuela currently playing in the MLB and the large number of GREAT players who have come from Venezuela can Baseball still work with Venezuela if they go the way of Cuba?
