As part of the agreement reached Friday, 15-day suspensions against Jose Guillen and Jay Gibbons were eliminated. Also, players, including those mentioned in the Mitchell Report, will join efforts by MLB to educate youth about performance-enhancing drugs. The player’s associated will also contribute $200,000 to an anti-drug organization.
In exchange, baseball commissioner Bud Selig has agreed not to discipline any players implicated in the Mitchell Report.
“All along Sen. (George) Mitchell’s stance has been not to look backwards, but look forward,” McLane said.
The new agreement must still be ratified by the players and owners. It will run until Dec. 11, 2011, when baseball’s labor contract expires.
