But before he suits up for the Dominican Republic, Rodriguez had a brief detour. A-Rod met with officials from Major League Baseball's Department of Investigations and Labor Relations Department after he left Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, Fla.MLB also says in the press release that "The Office of the Commissioner will have no further comment at this time." I'd expect to see a few details from the meeting "leaked" in the next few days.
According to an MLB release, Rodriguez met with officials for two hours and was cooperative.
UPDATED 7:30 a.m.: Here's some more information from the NY Daily News:
A source familiar with the gathering said most of the questions Rodriguez was asked were about how Rodriguez's cousin, Yuri Sucart, was involved with A-Rod's use of PEDs and Rodriguez's relationship with embattled Dominican trainer Angel Presinal.It was unclear if he was able to provide MLB with any substantial additional information about Presinal. However, a source said that because of MLB's concern for security, the investigation of Persinal is far from over and other players who have been known to associate with the Dominican trainer could yet be interviewed.
It's believed MLB investigators also asked Rodriguez to elaborate on what he said when he admitted using drugs on ESPN and in his subsequent press conference, especially about where he got the drugs. Rodriguez had two lawyers with him at the meeting, Jay Reisinger and James E. Sharp.
Michael Weiner, the general counsel for the players union; MLB VP of investigations Dan Mullin; MLB executive vice president for labor relations Rob Manfred; and VP and general counsel for labor Dan Halem were also in the meeting, a source said.

MLB is clearly run by sycophant idiots.
Rodriguez should ask major league baseball about how his name was on any test result since everything was supposed to be anonymous and if they would like him to sue their fucking ass for breach of contract and damages, since anonymity was the supposed to be the deal.
Hey MLB you have a 100 more named players on a list that obviously bought drugs from someone, why aren't you investigating those transactions as well? oh, right, cause this is all public relations bullshit.
MLB is full of morons, end of story.
