NEW YORK -- Baseball agent Scott Boras' company supplied tens of thousands of dollars in loans and payments to the families of needy prospects in the Dominican Republic, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
The report cited people with ties to Boras. The Times said the loans and payments raise questions about whether his company broke Major League Baseball Players Association rules governing the conduct of agents.
Boras is perhaps baseball's most powerful agent. The Times said that in a statement he declined to say whether any loans were made, but he acknowledged his company had "aided" players and families in the past.
Boras said such assistance has always been "consistent with" players' union rules, which are in place to prevent prospects from becoming financially obligated to agents, The Times said.
