White Sox shortstop Juan Uribe has found himself in hot water in the Dominican Republic this week. Uribe and a friend have been questioned in the shooting of two men after one of the men reportedly slammed his hand on the roof of Uribe’s car. Neither man was seriously hurt.
Uribe denies that he had anything to do with the incident saying that he was at his father’s house when the shooting took place. He also claims that he is being targeted as part of an extortion scheme from the two men who were shot because they know he is a professional baseball player. They are trying to blame him for the shooting in the hopes to get money from Uribe.
Sox GM Kenny Williams has expressed concern about Uribe’s safety and is requesting MLB to send a security representative to the Dominican Republic to investigate the situation.
