Wild stuff. It's the same guy who trained Jharmidy DeJesus. The Esteillon stuff is especially crazy.

Soto denied every allegation in the story and tells Ortega that the father of one of his other players, Mariners shortstop Esteilon Peguero, is behind the allegations. Peguero originally signed with the Mariners in December for $2.9 million, then later had his bonus reduced to $1.1 million for undisclosed reasons. A source familiar with the contract told Baseball America that Peguero has yet to be paid his bonus. It is not clear whether Esteilon Peguero is related to Yunior Peguero.

Soto went on to say that Esteilon Peguero's father was the one who motivated the mother of the two brothers to pursue the case. Peguero's mother and father are separated, and Soto told Ortega that Peguero's father is trying to blackmail him because he is unable to gain access to his son's bonus. Ortega also reports that Soto plans to launch a counter-claim against the mother of the two brothers.
