There's been a ton of George Mitchell report news the last day or two because of its impending release. (Who's excited!?!) And well, according to the NY Daily News, MLB took a gander at it today in Manhattan.

Officials arrived at Mitchell's Manhattan office Tuesday, according to sources familiar with the investigation who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the topic, and began what is believed to be a 48-hour review period before Mitchell releases the report on Thursday. The report is believed to contain the names of 60-80 former and current players, according to sources, and is based in large part on information provided to Mitchell by former clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski. "We cannot comment on anything," MLB spokesman Rich Levin said.
MLB officials were reviewing the information in the report to make sure there are no disclosures of confidential information that would violate the collective bargaining agreement.

I wouldnt be suprised about that at all, and to think he was calling out bonds so much..

[Phils20]

Damn, I want those names right now!

Yes, I'm jacked up!

But I'm NOT gonna pee my pants!

[EmpireWF]

I wonder how the names will be leaked. Little by little, from different sources is how I presume.

Most likely. The AP will get one or two, then ESPN, the New York Times, etc. etc. And I venture it'll start today.

NEW YORK -- Major League Baseball has begun to review a draft of George Mitchell's report on drug use in the sport, one of the final steps before the results of his 20-month investigation are released.

In a statement to ESPN, MLB said: "Nothing is more important to Commissioner Selig than the integrity of the game. He looks forward to commenting on the report when it is released."

ESPN - League reportedly starts likely 48-hour review before Mitchell report release - MLB

gives me the idea it will be made public

[Lefty Noob]

Yeah, I guess it does sound that way. But even so, I'm sure some names will come out in advance of an official announcement.

[azrael492]

Other than Schilling, who else do you bet is on the list. I would bet Randy Johnson as a former player.

[simple simon]

Pudge seems likely ...... he was little then huge then little again

[ThePundit]

I heard that it's going to be made public tomorrow.

Look for people on the list who had a lot of homers and then all of a sudden stopped hitting them:

Here's a couple of guesses off the top of my head:

Brian Roberts
Greg Monroe
Brian Giles
Jeff Bagpipes
Sean Green
Ryan Klesko
Maybe even Travis Hafner

[Lefty Noob]

Brian Giles and Travis Hafner, really? Bagwell too? Ugh, this could get ugly.
