Kinda OT - Fausto Carmona is not who we thought he was
Via Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes. "Dominican police arrests Fausta Carmona for double identity. His real name is Roberto Hernandez Heredia."
Looks like another Leo Nunez!

I would think they could argue he didn't bargain with them in good faith
since he’s in fact not who he said he was.

Maybe Cleveland would have interest in Dempster
and it would be close enough to Chicago that his family could stay here.

The Marlins just re-signed the former Leo Nunez

Yeah, except what is Fausto's contract situation?
I know like three years ago he had a huge season. Did he get a massive payday out of it? If the Indians feel like they are overpaying for him, they could use this as a reason to cut him loose and not pay him.

Carmona's deal
… includes a $7m club option for this year (which I presume they exercised) and a $9m club option for next year.
Not so massive.

That makes no sense.
Why would you make yourself seem older than you actually are? Normally, it’s the other way around.

You may want to read those numbers again...
He SAID he was 28. He is ACTUALLY 31. He said he was 3 years younger than he actually is.
