More on: Jose Canseco, Alex Rodriguez, steroids, wife, book (all tags)

Jose Canseco has a new book coming out which can mean only one thing: more major leaguers are about to get thrown under the bus. First up, Alex Rodriguez.

According to writer Joe Lavin who got his hands on a copy of "Vindicated: Big Names, Big Liars, and The Battle to Save Baseball" prior to it drop date on April 1, Canseco claims to have introduced A-Rod to a steroids distributor. At this point, we're willing to believe just about anybody is or has been juiced, but considering Canseco apparently freely admits to not actually sticking a needle into Rodriguez's ass and pumping him up, we're going to leave it at that. However, we all know A-Rod is true player in every sense of the word, so we don't doubt Canseco's other claims for one second.

He [Lavin] says Canseco claimed he didn't inject Rodriguez but "introduced Alex to a known supplier of steroids." Lavin also says "Canseco claims that A-Rod was trying to sleep with Canseco's wife."

"I really, absolutely, have no reaction," Rodriguez said Tuesday when asked about the claim relating to the steroids distributor. As far as the allegation regarding Canseco's wife, Rodriguez responded:

"I don't know how to answer that.

Well, you could start with either a yes or a no, that's how most people go about answering questions. Of course, you are a modern-day baseball player, so we assume you're just following protocol.
