MLB To Canseco: Uncle Bud Wants You!

Via the Post -

When Jose Canseco showed up today at Barnes & Noble in Midtown for a book signing, there was a surprise waiting for him.

Two members of the newly formed Major League Baseball Department of Investigations were waiting there to talk to Canseco about his possible cooperation in their steroids probe.

Senior investigators Victor A. Burgos and Eduardo Dominguez met with Canseco and asked for his help, something his lawyer said he would provide.

And, if Jose Canseco continues to finger A-Rod, will Major League Baseball's Department of Investigations want to talk to Alex about his reported meeting with a PED dealer?

Baseball, in the past, has brought in players to talk about "things" and it was not well known (when it happened). Bowie Kuhn called in Pete Rose, when he was a player, to talk to Henry Fitzgibbon (who was a former FBI agent hired to head baseball's security office, at the time, checking on players who may have been involved in drugs and/or gambling). If someone with the (then) star-status that Rose had could be called in because of "suspicions" only, then it's possible that MLB could call in Alex based on Canseco's "cooperation."

But, today, it will be more difficult to have such a meeting on the "QT." Stay tuned...
