Dominican Republic police also report that Carmona is not 28, but in fact 31-years-old.

The right-handed hurler was an All-Star for the Indians in 2010 after posting a 3.77 ERA in 210.1 innings pitched. In 2011 he posted a 7-15 record with a 5.25 ERA in 188.2 innings pitched.

The Indians recently exercised Carmona’s 2012 option, so he is slotted to earn $7 million in 2012.
