The Mitchell Report has finally been released on MLB.com the report lists the names of a number of current and former players. According to Mitchell at his press conference, about half of the players in the report are current players.

Most of the Mets involved in the report connect back to Mets former clubhouse assistant Kirk Radomski. Radomski you may remember plead guilty to distributing performance-enhancing drugs to dozens of major league players between 1995 and 2005, in April.

Former Mets catcher, Todd Hundley, who broke Roy Campanella's record for most home runs in a season by a catcher in 1996, is included in the report.

"Radomski has known Hundley since 1988, when Radomski worked for the Mets and Hundley played in the Mets’ minor league system.380 Radomski stated that, beginning in 1996, he sold Deca-Durabolin and testosterone to Hundley on three or four occasions. At the beginning of that year, Radomski told Hundley that if he used steroids, he would hit 40 home runs. Hundley hit 41 home runs in 1996, having never hit more than 16 in any prior year. After the season, Radomski said, Hundley took him out to dinner."

The report includes a great deal of information on Mets former catcher Paul Lo Duca, including checks, and handwritten notes from Lo Duca to Radomski.

"Todd Hundley referred Lo Duca to Radomski when Lo Duca played for the Dodgers. Radomski estimated that he engaged in six or more transactions with Lo Duca. In some transactions, Radomski sent the performance enhancing substances by overnight mail to Lo Duca’s home or to the Dodgers clubhouse and Lo Duca sent Radomski a check a week or so later.

Radomski produced copies of three checks from Lo Duca, each in the amount of $3,200. All are included in the Appendix. Radomski said that each check was in payment for two kits of human growth hormone.

Lo Duca’s name, with an address and telephone number, is listed in the address book seized from Radomski’s residence by federal agents. During that search, federal agents also seized a note from Lo Duca to Radomski."

NOTE: The page numbers indicate the page number on the PDF file, not the report itself.

I cannot say I am completely shocked at most of these names; the big name in this report from the mets perspective is Paul Lo Duca, because I think it finally puts to bed why Omar was reluctant to resign Lo Duca this off season.
