Some good background info here.

Article says that since mid-2009 MLB has been doing background investigations of foreign players, though the US embassies and consulates still have ultimate responsibility.

I'm sorry AB, but you know what I glean from that?

Thank God the Department of Homeland Security is protecting our country from all these evil foreign interlopers!
