Jason Giambi Could Be Facing Life Without the New York Yankees
While never directly admitting to taking steroids, Jason Giambi’s comments surrounding Major League Baseball’s need to apologize for the use of performance-enhancing drugs as well as his own revelation that he was “wrong for doing that stuff” may cause him his spot in the New York Yankees clubhouse.
As vague as Giambi was concerning his own use of performance-enhancing drugs, if it is determined that he in fact did use steroids after the Yankees signed him to a seven-year $120 million deal in 2001 New York may try to void the remainder of the contract.
In Friday’s edition of USA Today Giambi was quoted as saying “I was wrong for doing that stuff. What we should have done a long time ago was stand up -- players, ownership, everybody, We made a mistake.”
Giambi went on to say “We should have apologized back then and made sure we had a rule in place and gone forward. ... Steroids and all of that was a part of history. But it was a topic that everybody wanted to avoid. Nobody wanted to talk about it.”
