It's all in the translation

One of the sanctioned websites of the Cuban government is Prensa Latina (The Latino Press).

A Spanish language article about Cuban catcher Ariel Pestano is headlined in Spanish Astro de receptores cubanos dice que Clásico será muy fuerte, or "Star of cuban catchers says that Classic will be very strong."

But in the English language version of the same site, the headline is Cuban Catcher Augurs Tough Classic.

The English article is several paragraphs shorter so perhaps the translator got bored or lost his thesaurus.

Augurs?
