The Cleveland Guardians, an MLB team, have been rocked by the revelation that promising prospect Divi David Severino falsified both his age and name. Severino's real name is Dauri Severino Damas, and he is two years older than previously stated. He fabricated documents including a birth certificate, medical records, and school enrollment records. He even created a fake death certificate and tombstone to further obscure his identity. This incident has drawn significant attention because it appears to be an organized identity fraud scheme rather than simple age manipulation. The Cleveland organization has been embroiled in controversy over player identity issues in the past.
