Pirates Hit With 2000 Dollar Fine For Bonus Rule Violation
The Pittsburgh Pirates were fined 2000 dollars by Baseball Commissioner A B Chandler for breaching the bonus rule by signing M Dan Lynch Jr of Dallas to a scouting job while his son Danny Lynch was signed to a 6000 dollar contract. The elder Lynch was signed to bolster the organization and the league declared Dan Lynch Jr a bona fide free agent, nullifying Danny’s deal and fining Raymond Kennedy, director of the Pirates farm system. Pirates GM A Roy Hamey called the penalty an honest mistake and defended the signings as proper under the rule.
