Vlad may have his VISA revoked...

Hat tip to Rob at 6-4-2...

Apparently the State Department is deciding what to do with all players from the Dominican re: the age-gate scandal. Recourse could include revoking or suspending his VISA which allows him to work in the U.S.

Wonder when he actually got his residency visa ...

if greater than 7 years ago, wouldn’t that be beyond statute of limitations?

I thought so too, but then this:

Melendez said players found lying about their age could face a cancellation or temporary revocation of their visas. The State Department would make that decision, he said.

Chances are – he’s fine. But, if the US wants to get all pissy about this they certainly seem like they have the ability to do so. Visa’s are revocable – at the whim of the government I think.

Arte... Vs The State Department.

Imagine it…

Arte, super pissed, sues the state department for revoking Vlad’s Visa, causing Hillary Clinton and the state department to raid Angels Stadium.

They find that Arte has plans for the worlds most complicated computer. Not only that, he has a 11 year old from Nepal coding the most complicated statistical modeling program.

It can even statistically measure some things that stat-heads didn’ t even realize existed… “Team Chemistry”, “Dumb Luck” and “Crabs”

But, the government want’s it for thier own selish resons… The economy… So, they try and take it from Arte with force. Using an elete breakaway faction of the D.A.R.E. program the U.S. State department raid the Moreno compond.

Only to find Vlad and the other 24 members of the active roster with Bat-guns waiting for them with a message.

Vlad wispers in broken-but always-improving-English, "We don’t take no mess! "
RATTATATATTAA

Cut back to John Lackey racking his bat-gun…. How, D.A.R.E. They!

We take serious...comedically.
