BOSTON Feb 10, 2005 — Hubert Silva, a scout for the Boston Red Sox in Latin America, was suspended by the team while it investigates his role in a game-fixing scandal in Nicaragua.
Silva, who was coaching the Leon team in the Nicaraguan baseball league, was banned by that league last month after allegations that he offered to pay opposing players to throw a game.
Red Sox spokesman Glenn Geffner said Thursday that Silva was suspended pending an investigation.
