White Sox fire director of player personnel, two scouts

This looks like it could be interesting.

 

The Chicago White Sox fired director of player personnel David Wilder on Friday along with two other scouts in the club's Latin American operation.

 

Victor Mateo and Domingo Toribio also were terminated after a two-month investigation by Major League Baseball's Department of Investigations, the team said.

 

"It's very disappointing. This is a tough day," general manager Kenny Williams said Friday in San Francisco, where the White Sox opened a three-game interleague series against the Giants. "It's not consistent with (owner) Jerry Reinsdorf, myself or what the White Sox organization stands for."

 

Findings from baseball's investigation have been turned over to federal authorities. The White Sox said the three were dismissed "for actions in Latin America that were violations of club policy and standards" but did not elaborate.

This sounds more serious than the Red Sox scout that was knocking one off in plain view at the Fairfield Inn in ST.

When the feds are involved I would have to agree.

It seems these guys were skimming off the distribution of signing bonuses to Latin-American players.
