Add another chapter to the strange story of Edward Salcedo’s journey to the MLB. First came news that Salcedo turned down a $2.5 million offer from the San Francisco Giants. It has long been rumored that Salcedo had signed with the Cleveland Indians for $2.9 million. A page on a Dominican social networking site claiming to be owned by Salcedo made news when a large Cleveland Indians logo appeared in the images section. Despite all this, the Indians organization remains stout in it’s claims that it has not signed Salcedo.
Now comes word from BaseballAmerica’s Ben Badler that the MLB might be investigating whether or not Salcedo is older than 16. Furthering speculation is news that three MLB investigators in the Dominican have been fired, including one who was working on Salcedo’s case. The MLB officials have declined to comment, stating that they must complete their investigation before any findings are revealed. Salcedo’s agent, Scott Boras, has stated emphatically that all of Salcedo’s documents are in order and prove that he is 16-years-old. We’ll continue to follow this very interesting story as more news comes out.

The Cleveland Indians’ top prospect will have to sit out at camp for at least the next 5-7 days, according to MLB.com’s Anthony Castrovince. The blister actually formed on his middle finger at the beginning of camp, but had healed and has since reopened. After a string of injuries holding him back the past two seasons, the Indians were just hoping that Miller could make it through camp healthy, so clearly everyone is disappointed with this latest injury. As ESPN’s Keith Law notes, the only thing holding Miller back from potential ace status is his health. Even with his injury history Law has him ranked as the #29 prospect overall.
