Mitchell Report Rumors

Mitchell Report Names

Here are some new active players brought to light as users of performance-enhancing drugs by the Mitchell Report. By the way, they did talk to Jose Canseco. Note that I left out some of the more public/obvious steroid busts we already know about. Larry Bigbie (confessed) Brian Roberts (based on an admission to Bigbie) Jack Cust (based on an admission to Bigbie) Rondell White (Kirk Radomski) Roger Clemens (Brian McNamee) Andy Pettitte (Brian McNamee) Gregg Zaun (Kirk Radomski) Ron Villone (Kirk Radomski) Miguel Tejada (performance-enhancers provided to Tejada by teammate Adam Piatt) Mike Stanton (Kirk Radomski) Stephen Randolph (Kirk Radomski)..   Continue Reading

The Mitchell Report

1:06pm: Jon Heyman names a slew of guys in the report. The Mitchell Report itself is available here. Start reading! Wow, this thing is loaded with surprises. Kind of cool to see the emails Mitchell was able to collect among front office guys. 11:11am: More on last night's cut n' paste misspelled list - WNBC talked to a "high-ranking MLB official" who refuted several names on it. 10:51am: This is odd, WNBC/CNBC is rolling with the same cut n' pasted misspelled list. Hey look, Troy Glaus is in there twice! MetsBlog checks in with buzz that the Klapisch note about..   Continue Reading

The Mitchell Report Is Coming

The big story of today will undoubtedly be the Mitchell Report this afternoon. Dozens of current and former players are expected to be named, and they won't all be scrubs. As you know, the focus of MLBTR is trades and free agent signings, hot stove stuff. I don't consider steroid rumors a big part of it. So I'll probably cover a little of it, focusing how the current hot stove landscape may be altered. I did receive one tip on this topic - my guy says the Yankees are in for a bad day (but Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera..   Continue Reading

11 Free Agents Spoke To Mitchell

UPDATE: The agents Cafardo spoke to misinterpreted. The reality is that no more than 11 current free agents spoke to George Mitchell as part of his investigation. There's a Saturday deadline for player interviews. Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe informs us that the upcoming Mitchell Report has 11 current free agents in it. The report is due out sometime around January 1st. One of the 11 is already known, Jose Guillen. I imagine Barry Bonds is another. You could speculate all day on the rest. Here's an extensive list of all the free agents   Continue Reading

Orioles Will Listen On Bedard

New Orioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail confirms what we've been reading for the past few months: the club will at least listen to offers for ace Erik Bedard. He adds that the O's have had preliminary, general extension talks with Bedard. I imagine that if Bedard is looking for the $18-20MM per year he could get on the open market, the O's will choose to trade him. Two years of Bedard is at least as good as one of Johan Santana, and Bedard doesn't have any no-trade stipulations. He made just $3.4MM this year. What are your thoughts..   Continue Reading

Rays' Kazmir May Be Available

The week in hot stove kicks off with a bang: Joel Sherman of the New York Post has a source saying the Devil Rays might listen to offers for ace lefty Scott Kazmir. Kazmir turns 24 in January and carries a 3.64 career ERA despite pitching in the AL East. He's been particularly tough on the Red Sox (2.66 ERA in 101 innings). You have to think that if the Yankees are entertaining making an offer for Johan Santana, they'd consider Kazmir as well if the Rays would deal within the division. Sherman notes that Kazmir is under contract for..   Continue Reading
