List of Major League Baseball players named in the Mitchell Report

The List of Major League Baseball players named in the Mitchell Report includes active and former Major League players as well as free agents. The Mitchell Report is the result of former US Senator George J. Mitchell's (D–ME) 20-month investigation into performance-enhancing drug use in Major League Baseball (MLB). It was released December 13, 2007.

The following is a list of the Major League Baseball players named in the Mitchell Report.[1][2][3][4][5] Inclusion on the list does not necessarily mean the player was involved in illegal activity. In some instances, insufficient evidence was provided to draw a conclusion, and some players were mentioned in other contexts.

The Mitchell Report also stated that interviews were requested of five MLB players who had spoken out publicly on the steroid issue. Of these players, only one, Frank Thomas, was willing to be interviewed. The Mitchell Report stated that there was no evidence that any of these five had used performance-enhancing drugs. Curt Schilling, one of the four players who declined to interview with Mitchell, explained that he denied Mitchell's request because he "would have nothing to offer" Mitchell's investigation "other than personal opinion and hypotheticals."[6]

Jason Giambi was required to interview with Mitchell and his investigators by Commissioner Bud Selig under threat of discipline. This stemmed from Giambi's ongoing involvement with the BALCO investigation and statements he had given to the media.

I made a mistake. I know I am going to pay for it. I did something wrong five years ago out of stupidity. If somebody holds that against me, it is their decision. But I certainly wasn't going to lie."[17]
Mike Bell Admitted to purchasing one human growth hormone kit from Radomski and using "most of it", during the 2003 off-season.[18] "I'm glad all this stuff came out, and I can move on and concentrate on next year." "I have a chance to show people that I made a mistake. Things are tough at times, but you just gotta persevere through it. I can't take back what I did, but I can turn it into a positive." "I don't think this defines who I am."[19]

One point that should be made. I received a certified letter requesting my response to these allegations merely 24 hours prior to the release, leaving little time to act. Meanwhile, here in the present, I support the challenge that lay before the Players Association, current players and owners in restoring the great game of baseball."[25]

League officials tested the contents of the package and discovered it contained anabolic steroids (Winstrol) and over-the-counter diet pills. Through investigation of the package, Major League Baseball discovered that "players with the El Paso Diablos, a minor league affiliate of the Diamondbacks, regularly crossed the border into Mexico to purchase steroids." Cabrera was unable to be tested regarding the package,[114] but denied ever having used steroids after the report was released.[115]
Paxton CrawfordCrawford admitted to using human growth hormone and steroids while playing for the Boston Red Sox in 2001 and 2002. In an article in ESPN The Magazine, Crawford recounted an incident where syringes had fallen on the floor of the locker room, causing other players to laugh. Crawford declined to be interviewed for the Mitchell investigation stating he did not "do that stuff anymore." Other Red Sox players deny the syringe-dropping incident ever happened.[116]
Juan González[117]
Mike JuddAround May 1999, Todd Seyler, a minor league strength and conditioning coach began to speak to players including Judd about performance-enhancing drugs. Seyler stated that the players were to give money to Matt Herges or Paul Lo Duca, so they could purchase steroids. Seyler recalled that he had observed Judd inject himself with either Deca-Durabolin or Winstrol in July 1999. Seyler believed Judd continued to use the steroid for the next six weeks, based on conversations with him. Judd did not respond to a request to interview with Mitchell.[118]
