Michael S. Schmidt of The New York Times reports:

Several Yankees employees who scouted in the Dominican Republic have been placed on leave by the organization pending an investigation by Major League Baseball into the signing of prospects, according to a person in baseball who has been briefed on the matter.

What the MLB is looking into is if they paid players only a portion of their supposed bonus and then kept the rest of it. The employees that we put on leave are all located in the Dominican Republic.
