I don't know anything about this story but in my opinion it doesn't make sense for a club to commit any resources to this research hoping to find innocence.
No club wants the controversy, guilty or not, proven or unproven. This is a
PR nightmare MLB does not want.
Look at what the Kaepernik story did to the NFL and what K did was nothing in comparison to this allegation.
I wouldn't spend one dime trying to clear this kid. The league would never let him on the field, anyway.
