07/17: Yankees Deal With Damian Arredondo Revoked After Investigation Reveals Identity Fraud
Posted by: Patrick
On July 2, the Yankees came to terms with a trio of prospects from the Dominican Republic. One of them was Damian Arredondo, a 16 year old shortstop.
Turns out there was a couple of problems with that claim. According to a source, SI.com's Melissa Segura reports that Major League Baseball has revoked the deal after an investigation found that the player the Yankees signed is neither 16 years old, nor Damian Arredondo. His deal requiring the passing of these sort of investigations, so no money had been lost.
