In a washed-out-white press room in Yankee Stadium (Yes!), David Ortiz faced the media yesterday to say, well, not very much. Not because he was holding back, but because he simply doesn’t know.

Ortiz tested positive in 2003, says NY Times

This would be tough news, but not entirely unexpected. It’s why I say that list from 6 years ago should be made public and we should stop the dribs and drabs releases we’ve seen. It’s not fair to the clean players and it’s certainly not fair to the fans. If Ortiz is on the list [...]
