A-Rod To Meet With MLB Investigators This Week

From Ken Davidoff:

Major League Baseball's investigations team intends to meet with Alex Rodriguez between tomorrow and Friday to discuss his recent confessions of illegal performance-enhancing drug use, a person familiar with the situation told Newsday.

A-Rod will leave shortly for Jupiter, Fla., where he'll work out with Team Dominican Republic for the World Baseball Classic. Baseball officials want to get together with Rodriguez before he begins his WBC preparations.

For all of Bud Selig's threats of discipline against the Yankees' third baseman, there's virtually no chance of that happening. A-Rod likely will bring both a personal attorney - he just hired Jay Reisinger, who has represented Andy Pettitte and Sammy Sosa - and a players association lawyer with him, and the only questions Rodriguez will be compelled to answer are whether he procured illegal PEDs on MLB grounds - the clubhouse, for instance, or the team plane.

Sorry, I know everyone is sick of this story. But this is news, I guess, so I thought I should at least post something short about it.

At least they're getting over with this sooner rather than later. You wouldn't want this happening too close to the start of the season.
