Commissioner Bud Selig is prepared to levy a lifetime suspension on New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, while suspending about eight others before the weekend, two people with knowledge of the negotiations told USA TODAY Sports.

The people were unauthorized to speak publicly because no announcement is expected until Thursday or Friday.

Sorry if Ive missed it, but do we have any idea what players?

The only names Ive heard are obviously A Rod and then Jhonny Peralta and Nelson Cruz.



edit: Nevermind, this link gives a general idea of who is on the list:

Why the lifetime ban for A-Rod and not Braun?

Not Manny?

They must have proof of the cover up.
Then why not Melky?
