Sox Don't Give Donnelly New Contract

At 12:03 this morning, the Sox announced that they would not be offering reliever Brendan Donnelly a new contract, making him a free agent.

The Sox announcement came less than 24 hours before the Mitchel Report named Donnelly as a player implicated in the use of performance enhancing drugs.

A Red Sox spokesman said that they did not have advance notice of the names in the Mitchell Report.
