Marlins Oviedo arrested for using fake identity

Sure, we could have posted about Albert Pujols and the Angels giving him a $254 million contract. But, we saw this story and thought it was far more intriguing.

Remember the Miami Marlins closer Leo Nunez who got in trouble for using a fake identity in September? Well, he was arrested in his native Dominican Republic on Thursday on those same charges. His real name is Juan Carlos Oviedo and he is actually a year older than it says in your gameday program, which you wouldn’t know because no one actually goes to Marlins games.

The Marlins put him on the reserved/restricted list in September and it doesn’t seem as though he’ll be coming back to the United States any time soon.
