04/20: Talks with Cuban Felix Perez Cool Over Age, Visa Issues
ESPN's Jorge Arangure Jr. reports that talks between the Yankees and Cuban exile Felix Perez have cooled due to the U.S. Consulate discovering discrepancies with his age, while processing his Visa application. Specifically, sources say he may be 24 or 25, rather than 20 as he claimed.
As an aside, Arangure also notes that the Yankees are likely to sign 19 year old lefty pitcher Noel Arguelles. That said, negotiations cannot begin until MLB clears him as a free agent.
