ESPN broke the story (along with boston.com). Obviously no names yet, but it'd be pretty easy to speculate that the names would likely include Bonds in some way, Mike Cameron, Paul Byrd, and???

Going to make it awfully tough to start the bidding unless someone leaks the names to management and owners relatively quickly, and that could of course lead to more cries of collusion from the Union.

Didn't think about that...you're right. At any rate, it sure would be tough to decide on who to bid on if you're not told who's names are mentioned in the report.

I think there are enough leaks in the world for a team to find out if their potential guy is on that list.

Its going to be a weird start to 2008 though with so many guys being suspended, quite possibly 2 or 3 guys per team will be out.
