UPDATE: MLBPA Statement Issued

Michael Weiner, MLBPA Executive DirectorMichael Weiner, Major League Baseball Players Association Executive Director has issued the following statement regarding the recent Biogenesis report from ESPN:

“The Players Association has been in regular contact with the Commissioner’s Office regarding the Biogenesis investigation. They are in the process of interviewing players and every player has been or will be represented by an attorney from the Players Association. The Commissioner’s Office has assured us that no decisions regarding discipline have been made or will be made until those interviews are completed. It would be unfortunate if anyone prejudged those investigations.

The Players Association has every interest in both defending the rights of players and in defending the integrity of our joint program. We trust that the Commissioner’s Office shares these interests.”

Perhaps finding another term to describe the relationship between the commissioners office and the MLBPA as a "joint program" might be in order!
