The Royals knew this could be a risk. Now would be a good time to try and drop that ridiculous price they have given him.The MLBPA is negotiating with MLB officials on a possible 10- to 15-day suspension for Jose Guillen for his reported involvement in the purchase of steroids and human growth hormone, sources told ESPN's Buster Olney.
Guillen, whose three-year deal with the Royals still isn't official, apparently is admitting to some wrongdoing. "We told the commissioner's office my version of this whole affair, which in some ways has been handled with some errors in the media," Guillen told ESPNdeportes.com when asked about the situation. The San Francisco Chronicle reported last month that Guillen bought nearly $20,000 worth of steroids and human growth hormone from 2003 through 2005.
