Odds And Ends: Sosa, Harper, Pedro, Ibanez

Links for Tuesday evening...

Michael S. Schmidt of the New York Times reports that lawyers with knowledge of MLB's 2003 drug tests say Sammy Sosa tested positive for PEDs that year. Not our domain here at MLBTR, but easily the biggest baseball story of the day.
Tom Verducci of SI.com reports that Bryce Harper has been flooded with interview requests since being profiled on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star believes the Jays should pursue Pedro Martinez.
ESPN.com's Jayson Stark profiles Raul Ibanez and the hot start to the 37-year-old's season.
Not only did the Rockies agree to terms with Tim Wheeler, they made progress with Rex Brothers and signed 27 players in total, according to Troy Renck of the Denver Post.

Let's see if I have got this straight?

You are declaring as the biggest story of the day, a 3rd hand report attributed to unnamed "attorneys", and we all know that they always tell the truth (ha..ha....ha..ha), by a reporter I've never heard of, in a newspaper whose name in recent years is almost synonymous with lies, fabrications & plagiarism, about Sosa testing positive without a shred of supporting evidence or testimony!

I have a question for you, what does that say about your credibility?

I'm glad Verducci is answering some of the idiotic criticism that Harper is getting. Hopefully more stories like this will come out.

Is anybody else tired of hearing about Bryce Harper?

I too am tired of hearing about Bryce Harper. I wish this kid the best, and hope the hype doesn't get to him. Just give this kid a rest before he gets burned out.
