Former MLB vice president of operations, Sandy Alderson, has been hired by Major League Baseball to prevent age, identity fraud and performance-enhancing drug use in the Dominican, according to Jorge Arangure Jr of ESPN.

In addition to  his vice president role, Alderson was a well-respected baseball executive with the Oakland Athletics and San Diego Padres. Alderson was asked by MLB to deliver a report about possible solutions to the problems in the Dominican Republic. It is expected that he will implement those solutions in his new role.

Edward Salcedo, now with the Atlanta Braves, had a $2.3 million agreement with the Cleveland Indians in 2007. That deal was nullified when suspicions were raised on his date of birth. It’s through the efforts of Alderson, that situations like this can be prevented.
