According to Heyman, the restructuring involves eliminating one of his contract options, which are  $9 million for 2013 and $14 million for 2014. However, Carmona will not receive any money until he returns to the United States and is removed from the restricted list.

Carmona has yet to receive clearance for a visa, partially due to the revelation that he has been playing under a false name. His real name is reportedly Roberto Hernandez Heredia.

Last season he posted a 5.25 ERA with a 7-15 record and 109 strikeouts.

Roberto Hernandez Heredia, otherwise known as Fausto Carmona, will miss spring training with the Cleveland Indians, according to the Associated Press.

Indians manager Manny Acta informed the AP that the team is trying speed up Carmona’s legal process in the Dominican Republic, but that it isn’t likely that he’ll join the team by spring training.

Carmona has been accused by Dominican authorities of using a false identity in order to play baseball in the United States. While he has been known as Fausto Carmona by Major League Baseball fans for years, it was reported last week that he was playing under a false alias, and that he was actually three years older than he had led on.

It is believed that Kevin Slowey will replace Carmona in the rotation.

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.
