NEW YORK (AP)—The New York Yankees have fired two scouts under investigation in a probe of possible skimming from contracts with Latin American players, The Associated Press has learned.

The Yankees terminated the contracts of Carlos Rios, their director of Latin American scouting, and Ramon Valdivia, their Dominican Republic scouting director, a baseball official said Friday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made.

The two, who had been on leave, were terminated Thursday, the official said.

They were accused of skimming six figures from the deals, a second baseball official said, also speaking on condition of anonymity because no announcements had been made.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman declined comment.

Major League Baseball has been investigating alleged skimming involving Latin American operations for months.

In May, the Chicago White Sox fired director of player personnel David Wilder along with two scouts in the club’s Latin American operations following the start of MLB’s probe. The team said the pair had violated club policy but did not go into details. The White Sox also said findings from baseball’s investigation had been given to federal authorities.

The Boston Red Sox later fired Pablo Lantigua, their Dominican scouting supervisor, also saying he violated team policy.

Arod---One 9th inning RBI this year. That's your #1 Non injury reason as to why this team is where it is

Champagne Breakfast

Someone said it earlier...
No heart man. No heart. & never thought I'd say it...but Jeter too.
Girardi to me is the only guy who looks determined to win. The only guy who's blood boils when they suck (aside from us).

I know the injuries have just been ridiculous....but lets face it this team has been celebrities in pinstripes for the past few years. NOT a ball club.
This year being the pinnacle.

Man I was so happy that trade to Boston for him didn't happen cause that is just TOOOO much money to be ppaying one player who's NOT the games most dominate pitcher.

Then the Red Sox would have deal with the fiasco of resigning this guy, what a burden he must be so far. If he can win a championship for the NYY though AALLL that shit will out the window in a heartbeat .

Peace

Fighting Hellfish

I was ecstatic when he opted out, given the comments from Cashman and Hank about there was no way he'd come back if he opted out. If only they (Hank, really) had meant it.

Heard Girardi say on WFAN that 90 was the number, which means that the Yankees will have to go 26-14 the rest of the way.

Good move on Melky Cabrera for now, not that Brett Gardner is any better.

Wakefield? Seriously? Colon? C'mon. And what did Matsuzaka miss? 2 weeks? The Yankees have lost 4 starters for extended periods. 2 of their top bats for the year. They started their projected lineup all of 2 times the entire season

so papi is a slouch

and i have yet to see you respond to the rays who are missing 4 key guys and still winning

3 runs at home against the royals. this game is bullshit, it shouldn't even be close.

what entitlement have the yankees earned? because the royals are traditionally bad?
