Another year, another Dominican visa scandal.

The U.S. Embassy in the Dominican Republic has announced that 10 minor league players who were caught in a fraudulent marriage scheme this offseason have been permanently banned from receiving visas. As a result, the players’ careers in the United States are effectively over.

Marriage Penalty: Visa Woes Plague Dominican

Three of the players identified are in the Yankees minor league system.

Update: The New York Times reported that the Yankees had three players--righthanders Miguel Aguero, Juan De Leon and Maximo Nelson--involved in the scheme.

Of the identities revealed in the scandal thus far, Nelson is the most high-profile player involved. The 22-year-old went 6-3, 2.63 in 55 innings in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League last season and ranked as the No. 30 prospect in the Yankees' system.

De Leon, 23, went 2-3, 2.93 in 61 innings for high Class A Tampa, and Aguero, 24, spent the entire season on the suspended list.



Very bizarre.
