New York Yankees May Void Jason Giambi's Contract

Who says saying your sorry is always the best policy.

In the wake of a USA Today interview in which he alluded to using performance-enhancing drugs, New York Yankees slugger Jason Giambi may find himself out of a job.

Here's how Fox News is reporting it:

According to a report in the New York Daily News, Giambi's admission in Friday's USA Today could lead to the Yankees trying again to void his contract if it is ultimately determined that he used illegal drugs after signing him to the deal.

The commissioner's office is investigating Giambi's comments and is expected to summon him to a meeting to discuss them. According to the Daily News, the outcome of that meeting will determine in part how the Yankees proceed.

Giambi told USA Today "what we should have done a long time ago was stand up,  players, owners, everybody, and said: 'We made a mistake.' We should have apologized back then and made sure we had a rule in place and gone forward. ... Steroids and all of that was a part of history. But it was a topic that everybody wanted to avoid. Nobody wanted to talk about it."

 

Maybe it's just me, but this one seems to set an awfully hypocritical standard in a baseball world so intent on getting down to the truth on the steroid issue.

Think of it like this: If copping to bad behavior is going to get you fired, only a fool would come clean on his past.

Think Barry Bonds is paying attention?
