Selig, speaking on the second and final day of an owners meeting, called this an "appropriate decision."Giambi has acknowledged a "personal history regarding steroids." He agreed to speak with former Sen. George Mitchell last month after Selig threatened to discipline him if he refused to cooperate.
"He's doing a lot of public-service work, and I think that's terribly important," Selig said. "I think it's more important for us to keep getting the message out. He was, I thought, very frank and candid with Sen. Mitchell, at least that was the senator's conclusion. Given everything, this is an appropriate decision."
Selig said June 21, before Giambi met Mitchell, that he would take "Giambi's level of cooperation into account in determining appropriate further action."
"I am pleased with commissioner Selig's decision to forego any punishment for Jason," said Giambi's agent, Arn Tellem.
Selig said Mitchell was not expected to speak with any other active players.
"This was a special circumstance," Selig said. "I have no other plans."
No date has been announced for the release of Mitchell's report.
Giambi met Mitchell in New York on July 13, becoming the first active player known to talk with baseball's steroids investigator.
