The agreement will be complete when Guillen passes a physical exam, scheduled for Tuesday.

How long until the Mitchell report comes out again?

Well, the Gil Meche deal looks like it will work out OK for the amount of criticism they took. But this? I can't possibly see this ending well. 36 million for him? Really, KC?

 

Fitting he signs this the day it is announced that the Mitchell Report will be out next week.

..and that's what Konerko has left on his contract. Just for comparion sakes.

I like Jose Guillen and think he can be a good player. I know there is that steroid thing going around with him but we'll see how it works out. Like everyone said, Meche seemed like a bad deal at first too.

From Rotoworld: Guillen trying to negotiate a less stringent 'roids penalty

 

 

"The MLBPA is negotiating with MLB officials on a possible 10- to 15-day suspension for Jose Guillen for his reported involvement in the purchase of steroids and human growth hormone, sources told ESPN's Buster Olney.

Guillen, whose three-year deal with the Royals still isn't official, apparently is admitting to some wrongdoing. "We told the commissioner's office my version of this whole affair, which in some ways has been handled with some errors in the media," Guillen told ESPNdeportes.com when asked about the situation. The San Francisco Chronicle reported last month that Guillen bought nearly $20,000 worth of steroids and human growth hormone from 2003 through 2005"
