Knowing is half the battle
According to Murray Chass in the NY Times today, the Yankees knew about Giambi's steroid habit.
I'm not judging the Yankees -there are players all over who were using steroids, and there was probably a pretty good idea by the teams about many of them. But I don't think this will be making it into any of the YES networks grandiose commercials about the perfection of the Yankee organization.
A person with knowledge of the contract said that before they signed off onIt's an interesting read, and anyone who wants to pretend that ownership and management from any team has been taken by surprise by the events of the past few years, is probably being naive.
Giambi's seven-year, $120 million deal, the Yankees acquiesced to his request
and removed all references to steroids from the guarantee language routinely
included in contracts.
