Strange

The page appears to have been taken down, but it still appears in the www.mlbtraderumors.com search results.

mlbtraderumors.com linked to this as their source:

RHP Juan Yasser Serrano may have signed a $250,000 contract with the Chicago Cubs. Cuban Ball Players cannot confirm the validity of this rumor. Serrano pitched for the Villa Clara Orangemen in the Cuban League.

MLBTR says now that he has NOT signed, but talks are going on.

first one I found

Doesn’t sound that special, but for $250 k, that’s worth a gamble. Send him to Peoria. Or Boise.

Agreed.

This isn’t a big money signing, but could turn out decent, since he’s so young (supposedly).

Straight ball I hit it very much!

Curve ball, bats are afraid.

F@CK YOU, JOBU!

I do it myself!

And just think… that ball player would become the president of the united states…

Forget all that other stuff. I gotta believe.

Sadly, at this point, it would more likely be his father.

You realize that movie came out in 1989? Right about when this Serrano was born.

Downer.

Now I feel ancient.

One could update the movie to be set in 2010 pretty easily

Edit the newspaper (remember those?) headlines in the opening sequence and a couple of early remarks by the showgirl widow, and throw in a CGI of Willie Mays Hayes tweeting from the dugout. Then we can all dream of having Jake, Eddie, Pedro, and Ricky on our team again. And of having a cantankerous manager named Lou…
