The Mitchell Report Could be a Problem for Foreign Players

The New York Times had an interesting article this morning explaining potential problems for foreign players included in the Michell Report. While the MLB Player's Union and the commissioner's office have developed a policy in dealing with players who test positive for performance enhancing drugs they do not have a say in visas issued by the U.S. Government to play baseball in the United States. The federal government may take action against foreign players on the report by not issuing them visas to work in the U.S. This could catch teams by surprise, especially if some of their key players are on the list. No one knows if the report will name names but it could have a major impact across the sport. As I posted earlier this story is going to explode soon.
