06/06: Cuban Outfielder Felix Perez Suspended
Posted by: Patrick
ESPN.com's Jorge Arangure Jr. reports that Cuban outfielder Felix Perez was suspended for one year on May 26 and cannot sign with an MLB team for one year from that date. The Yankees had reportedly been interested in him.
Perez had said he was 20 years old, but they believe that he is really 24 or 25.
The report also says that, according to sources, the Yankees have "shown significant interest" in both pitcher Noel Arguelles and infielder Jose Iglesias, should they be declared free agents. Their agent filed a request for them to be so on April 20.
