MLB Investigating Salcedo's Birthdate

Baseball America's Ben Badler has the latest on 16 year-old Dominican shortstop Edward Salcedo.  He says MLB is currently investigating Salcedo's birthdate (not an uncommon practice).  Scott Boras and Co. represent the kid, but they're not talking.  There were rumors he'd signed with the Tribe, but the Indians said two weeks ago that it wasn't true.  Badler adds that Salcedo rejected a $2.5MM offer from the Giants and the D'Backs may be interested.  Badler also writes:

Adding to the intrigue is Major League Baseball's recent firing of three investigators in the Dominican, including one who was working on Salcedo's case.

MLB's Latin operations manager says the firings are unrelated to the Salcedo case.
