Rapper-turned-sports
agent Jay Z is reportedly under investigation by Major League Baseball
Player's Association officials for giving New York Yankees star Robinson
Cano a pricey watch as a gift.
The
organization's leaders are keen to determine whether or not Jay
violated the union's agent regulations by giving the second baseman the
$34,000 timepiece from his own limited edition Shawn Carter Classic
Fusion Hublot range as a 31st birthday gift last month.
They fear the rapper
may have broken a rule that stipulates, "No Player Agent or Applicant
shall provide, cause to be provided or promise to provide, any money or
any other thing of value to any player, or any person related to or
associated with such player, the purpose of which is to induce or
encourage such player to use or continue to use any person's or firm's
services as a Player Agent, Representative, or Draft Advisor."
Cano joined Jay Z's Roc Nation sports group in April.
According
to the MLBPA rules, any gift over $500 must be disclosed to the union
in writing, and as a result, Jay Z could face discipline for his
actions, reports BleacherReport.com.
