MLB: Willing To Release A-Rod Files 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Aug 19, 2013 8:56 pm

Major League Baseball is willing to show all the evidence they have against Alex Rodriguez in response to claims by Rodriguez's attorney.


MLB executive vice president Robert Manfred has agreed to waive the confidentiality clause written into the league's drug-testing agreement with the players' association, as attorney Joseph Tacopina suggested would be a viable course of action.


Manfred didn't stop at drug-testing information, suggesting the remainder of evidence in the Biogenesis case as it concerns Rodriguez could be released for public consumption, including "all documents, records, communications, text messages, and instant messages relating to Rodriguez's treatment by Anthony Bosch."


MLB sent the letter to the "Today Show" overnight, and host Matt Lauer presented it to Tacopina during the in-person interview before asking the attorney if he would sign it.


"Listen, we would love nothing more than to be able to discuss the testing history, the scientific evidence and the tests of Alex Rodriguez under this JDA drug program, nothing more," Tacopina said.


Tacopina later issued a written statement in which he called the letter "a publicity stunt."
