An Unknown Number of Young Baseball Prospects Detained Overseas
"Major League Baseball has officers in the Dominican Republic who are cooperating with the FBI in at least two major scandals involving the Chicago White Sox and Washington Nationals involving falsified birth records, kickback scandals, and smuggling of performance-enhancing drugs that evaded security -- and former Sen. George Mitchell's investigation into the use of PEDs in MLB -- until recently."

…one club official said it is his understanding “there are some big so-called prospects on the list.”
Chicago White Sox Top 10 (B.A.)
Washington Nationals Top 10 (B.A.)
Hopefully the links will open in a new window. I’m not well-versed in HTML and I’m testing out the code.
BA linking thwarted, even though those rankings are freely accessible in a Google search. Anyway, I have a suspicion that thissituation isn’t confined to just these two clubs.
I wonder if any of the falsely documented players have been traded, and if there’s a cover-up going on. This could get interesting.
