It sounds like that this is about something that took place down in the Dominican Republic, though. That wouldn't be the feds' concern, would it?
A couple years ago there was a case of a Giants scout who extorted sexual favors in return for professional contracts. A similar scenario would seem to fit the few facts that have been reported.
These guys liked boys.
This must be a new policy.
you mean "Dinero Pelota"
Or maybe they were paying money to non-existent players, and then "cutting" them a few weeks later.
If only the White Sox could incorporate the tenets of Moneyball into their organization. Then they might be able to fleece some GM by getting an elite major league hitter for an A ball player.
Oh wait.
This must be a new policy.
Beat me to it. This quote is fun coming from KW.
Yep. The investigation is limited to the White Sox, according to the various reports, but I would be hugely surprised if it were just the White Sox who were doing it.
This might give a push to the idea of a "world draft", which has been kicked around on a number of occasions and resisted pretty strongly by the big-money clubs.
