两周前洋基才以85万美金签下的多明尼加的16岁的游击手Damian Arredondo，经大联 盟官方调查後，发现是使用假名年纪也不只16岁。洋基原本看上了他的强肩和两条腿，据 传他60码只要6.4秒。 根据大联盟的规定，球员如果使用假名或假年纪，一年内将不得和球队签约。大联盟 将与多明尼加合作绩极查缉使用假名及假年纪，此外也防杜当地的训练员和经纪人从球员 签约金中诈取高比率的佣金。 洋基营运的资深副总Mark Newman表示还没有收到大联盟官方正式的通知，但洋基不会 损失任何的金钱，因为付出的签约金原本就视调查的结果而定。Newman表示感谢，尤其调 查的速度很快，希望官方也迅速查清目前未签约的IFA实际的状况。 (谜之声，Aroldis Chapman之前透露消息，他没有虚报年纪他不是26岁，而且事实上他还 更幼齿，年纪其实还比登录少六个月，当初国际赛登录的生日是1987年9月11日，但实际 上他是1988年2月28日出生的) 而根据经纪人Brian Mejia表示用三百万签下的多明尼加籍的捕手Gary Sanchez, 则通 过了多项的调查证实他的身份是没有问题的。 Source: MLB nixes Yanks' signing of player with fraudulent identity http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/ By Melissa Segura, SI.com A top New York Yankees prospect is not who he claims to be, sources tell SI.com. Two weeks ago, the Yankees signed a shortstop purporting to be 16-year-old Damian Arredondo from the Dominican Republic to an $850,000 bonus. Now Major League Baseball's Department of Investigations has determined that Arredondo is not the player's real name and that he is older than 16. The Yankees signed the player they thought was Arredondo on July 2, the first day that major league teams are permitted to sign international free agents as young as 16. The Yankees were impressed with the switch-hitter's strong arm and speed -- he reportedly ran a 60-yard-dash in 6.4 seconds. According to a new Major League Baseball rule, a player found to have used a fraudulent identity or to have misrepresented his age cannot sign with another club for one year. Major League Baseball has recently increased its efforts to deter identity fraud in Latin America by hiring new investigators and dispatching other investigators from its New York City office to oversee the process. In general, sources say that MLB will be working with authorities in the Dominican Republic to bring criminal charges against the orchestrators of fraud -- often the trainers and agents who stand to make large percentages of the prospects' signing bonuses. Mark Newman, the Yankees Senior Vice President of Baseball Operations, says that he has not received official notification of the outcome of the Arredondo investigation. The Yankees did not lose any money on the prospect because his bonus was contingent on the outcome of the investigation. Newman expressed gratitude that the investigative process was swift, allowing the team time to continue searching for prospects among the pool of free agents who have not yet been signed. Last week, the Yankees also signed Dominican catcher Gary Sanchez, for $3 million. According to his agent, Brian Mejia, Sanchez has already passed multiple investigations. --
