BOSTON - Baseball America released a report on Wednesday that Major League Baseball is investigating the Red Sox for their international signings in 2015.

In an email to MassLive.com, Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said the club is "not at liberty to comment" about the investigation.

According to the extensive report, MLB is focusing on Boston's signing of multiple Venezuelan players in "package deals" as a way to bypass the bonus pool the team was alloted to sign players.

The Red Sox were limited to a $300,000 bonus pool in 2015 because they had exceeded their spending limit with the previous year's signings, which included rising righthander Anderson Espinoza.

The report says the focus of the investigation is on the 2015 signings of Venezuelan outfielders Albert Guaimaro and Simon Muzziotti, who each signed $300,000 bonuses.
