2/21 21:09: According to Paul Hoynes of The Plain Dealer, the Cleveland Indians are not commenting on Salcedo per club policy. The Indians supposedly signed Salcedo in 2007, but the contract was voided when the club found out Salcedo lied about his age.

2/21 21:02: According to David O’Brian of the The Atlanta Journal Constitution, Salcedo could sign with the Braves as soon as passes his physical. Salcedo is currently in the Dominican Republic awaiting the completion of paperwork so he could go to Florida to take the physical.

2/20 21:00: According to David O’Brian of the The Atlanta Journal Constitution, he tweets, “Braves expected to finalize contract with Dominican SS prospect Edward Salcedo as soon as he takes his physical.”

O’Brian later tweets, “Braves consider highly-sought SS prospect Edward Salcedo the equivalent of signing a high first-round draft pick. Should have him soon.”

2/19 19:23: According to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, the Atlanta Braves and Dominican shortstop prospect Edward Salcedo are close to a deal. Salcedo’s agent says that Atlanta is currently the front-runner to sign his client.

Salcedo had a $2.3 million agreement with the Cleveland Indians in 2007, but that deal was nullified when suspicions were raised on his date of birth. Major League Baseball has determined that Salcedo was born in 1991.
