Claim filed against Yoenis Cespedes
By Enrique Rojas | ESPNDeportesLosAngeles.com
ORLANDO -- Edgar Mercedes, who helped outfielder Yoenis Cespedes get a
multimillion dollar contract with the Oakland Athletics this season, filed an
arbitration claim for breach of contract against the Cuban outfielder in a
Dominican Republic court.
Mercedes, president of the Born To Play Academy, said at a news conference
Tuesday in Santo Domingo that Cespedes had promised to pay 17 percent of his
contract to the academy for representation, training and food while Cespedes
and his family were staying in the Dominican Republic.
Besides the money owed to the academy, Mercedes said, Cespedes owes another 5
percent to Adam Katz of the Wasserman Group, the agency that represented
Cespedes in negotiations with Oakland and other MLB teams.
"Yoenis has not complied with the agreement, which obliges us to resort to
Dominican law to force him to do it," Mercedes said by phone. "I regret
having to do this, but you must set an example."
Cespedes, in Boston for the Athletics' series against the Red Sox, downplayed
the situation.
"I have no opinion about that right now," Cespedes said. "I talked to Edgar
by telephone, those are Internet rumors."
However, Mercedes said he has not spoken with Cespedes since spring training.
"Since Cespedes joined the A's, he stopped taking our calls, he didn't
respond (to) our messages and his financial adviser, Anthony Fernandez,
informed us that at this time, he does not have any scheduled payment for us,"
Mercedes said.
Cespedes, 26, signed a four-year, $36 million with Oakland in February, seven
months after defecting from Cuba and establishing residency in the Dominican
Republic.
The outfielder hit .250 in his first month in the majors, with five homers,
four doubles, four stolen bases and 19 RBIs.
Born To Play lawyer Guillermo Estrella told ESPNDeportesLosAngeles.com that
Cespedes also received a $5 million signing bonus.
"The basic understanding with Cespedes was that he would pay 22 percent of
all the money received from Oakland 48 hours after receiving payment. We have
evidence that he has already received a $5 million signing bonus in addition
to his regular April salary, but now he's evading payments. He is an
ungrateful one," Estrella said.

大意是古巴巨砲還沒付他先前同意的22% of his contract
(Academy:17%:representation,training and food for Cespedes and his family,
Agent:5%)
我猜他反悔了答應的22%太多所以還沒付?
在DR待不到半年要17% of his contract= 6M ........
