Cleveland places TAFKAF (Roberto Hernandez) on the restricted list
On Wednesday, the Cleveland Indians officially placed pitcher Fausto Carmona on the restricted list, which is often used by teams for players who have violated the terms of their contract.
According to Major League Baseball, players that are added to the restricted list do not count towards the team's 25-man roster, but are unable to sign with another team. Players on the restricted list also do not get paid by their team while on the list.

Does he have to renegotiate if he returns?
Most arguments are really about context.

If Roberto gets himself a new work visa and can come play, they’ll put him right back on the active list. I’m betting the Tribe is essentially obligated to do this for roster and payroll reasons, since he (for now) can’t come and fulfill the terms of his deal and they obviously don’t want to release him.
Sounds right. They don’t have to pay him, but he can’t sign with another team, and it opens up a spot on the 40 man roster. This is hardly a significant development beyond the acknowledgement that he won’t be able to report to camp.
You don’t think it’s the first step in them tearing up his contract and using that money to sign someone else?
It is likely the first step for both directions, so I think this means nothing.
Matt LaPorta is the bane of my existence.
There’s also something in between. I suppose they could renegotiate his contract using his actual age to adjust his future worth, which would still clear some salary space. That’s assuming there aren’t legal constraints on his ability to play.

The proverbial player to be named later.

Traditionally, the father’s last name is before the mother’s, so his father is Hernandez, his mother is Heredia.
I can second this. I’m Colombian, and my dad’s surname is also Hernandez. If I was in Colombia I would also use my mum’s surname and it would be the second surname.
Basically, as illustrated below, I have four names but tend to only use the first and third ones due to custom in England. Its also customary in Latin America to go by your second given name rather than the first…which can be confusing!

I like that better, actually. Makes more sense and flows better.
