The violations occurred in September when the team organized activities around a dinner held at new minority owner Alex Rodriguez's house in Miami. His minority partner Marc Lore was in attendance, too.

Members of the front office as well as coaches and players were in attendance in violation of the rules.

Rodriguez and Lore officially became minority partners in July. The pair will be controlling owners in two years.
