Bud Selig Asks Giambi To Talk

According to sources close to ESPN Insider Buster Olney, Jason Giambi would be used as a bargaining chip to try to give credibility to the Mitchell Investigation. The Mitchell Investigation was set up by Bud Selig and Major League Baseball to investigate the use of steroids in baseball. The Mitchell Investigation is headed by former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell. Jason Giambi is the most well known player who has come out and admitted to using steroids. Giambi's testimony could prove very useful in confirming details leaked from the BALCO investigation. Since Giambi is on the Yankees disabled list he has time to kill. Giambi has the option to say yes or no, and both answer bring consequences. If he says no Selig could possibly suspend Giambi and cause some drama with the players association. If he says yes he could give the Yankees incentive to terminate his contract which has already been something Brian Cashman has entertained. Baseball sources also told Buster Olney that each month the Mitchell Investigation is costing the league 2 million dollars.
