Team-sponsored human trafficking. Scouts stealing signing bonus money from international prospects. Gambling on baseball. Blatant PED distribution and usage. These were among the egregious activities probed by Eddie Dominguez with MLB's Department of Investigations from 2008-2014, much of it ignored or bluntly shut down by top baseball executives, including Rob Manfred.
Eddie documented these experiences in the new book, BASEBALL COP: THE DARK SIDE OF AMERICA'S PASTIME. And he joined Trey Elling to share some of the details, including Manfred and Bud Selig's insistence on bringing down A-Rod for reasons that go beyond protecting the integrity of the game.
