Dominican Baseball's False Promises to Players and Families

Wow that is depressing and worse than I had imagined.  Hard to read the names of players that we follow closely here (Moneys and Fenelon) specifically named.

I do wonder if the academy the brewers have is a help - not beforehand as MLB and the owners and GMs are clearly fine looking the other way - but the despair and depression one could get from being used.  Could the academy help them through what feels like a 'curse'.. Maybe too rose colored glasses that the Brewers are helping these kids out the right way, but certainly that could be an edge, if you can focus on the sport you love and not feel like every future deal is a losing proposition.  Anyway, nice link, good (and long) read, and very sad, but given the state of a lot of the world not surprising ... won't go into any tangents here.
