Sources: Alex Rodriguez bought Biogenesis documents as MLB
According to all the sources, a middleman approached players linked to Biogenesis and invited them to bid on the documents that allegedly came from Anthony Bosch's clinic and included detailed information about the purchases of performance-enhancing drugs by players and possibly their signatures.
Rodriguez, according to multiple baseball sources, bought documents generated by Biogenesis, a Miami clinic identified as a source of performance-enhancing drugs to a multitude of players, including Rodriguez. The Yankee third baseman made the purchases as MLB intensified its investigation into Biogenesis and what has emerged as the biggest doping scandal baseball has faced since the feds busted steroid supplier Kirk Radomski.
According to the baseball insiders familiar with the matter, the documents became available through intermediaries working on behalf of a Boca Raton wellness company whose owners are believed to have invested with Bosch and are now attempting to recoup money as Bosch faces a lawsuit by MLB, the closing of his company, and the beginnings of a federal investigation.
Media outlets were also reportedly approached about purchasing the documents, and so was MLB itself, which purchased documents from an intermediary for several thousand dollars in its attempt to get to the bottom of the scandal.
One source described the transactions by Rodriguez, MLB and possibly other players as "a situation where these people are out there soliciting bids, treating this stuff like it's baseball memorabilia."
A-Rod allegedly took up the offer, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the scheme, and sent his own intermediary to retrieve the documents. Rumors have spread through the league and its players that A-Rod possesses a list of names and documents that he has either leaked to the media to deflect attention from himself or destroyed them before anyone can see them.
Some of the documents are said to bear signatures of MLB players and are believed to be more extensive than the documents obtained and published by the Miami New Times earlier this year.
