The newest scandal in Major League Baseball broke Wednesday with as many as 20 players linked to performance-enhancing drugs.
Former MVPs Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees and Ryan Braun of the Brewers were named in the ESPN “Outside the Lines” report.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire tells the Star Tribune that it’s “disappointing” to see another scandal put a blemish on MLB.
“To me, that’s sad stuff, to see guys’ names out there, great players. I know they’re good guys, really good guys, because I’ve had a chance to meet all those guys, at least the big guys you’re talking about. They’re good guys, so it’s a tough time. I’m not relieved. I’m disappointed for them and baseball.”
No Minnesota Twins players, past or present, were named in the report.
