Major League Baseball is looking into comments made by Magic Johnson last week about soon-to-be free agent Robinson Cano, according to sources.

Johnson is a part of the Los Angeles Dodgers' ownership group.

Johnson indicated to reporters Thursday that the Dodgers will not pursue Cano.

"Though I can't talk about it, that other guy in New York is going to get paid," Johnson said. "Not by us, but he's going to get paid."
