The last time Jose Canseco put pen to paper, all of baseball quaked.
He promises to do it again - and this time he says he'll have something to say about Alex Rodriguez. Canseco, who wrote "Juiced," his 2005 book detailing his use of steroids with Mark McGwire, Juan Gonzalez, Rafael Palmeiro, Pudge Rodriguez and others, says he has another book in the works, due this fall.
He told Boston's WEEI Radio on Friday that he had "other stuff" on A-Rod that will be coming out. When asked directly if Rodriguez had used steroids, Canseco replied: "Wait and see."
Rodriguez cut off a question about Canseco's comments yesterday after being asked in Baltimore if he had heard the former slugger's words, saying, "Nope, I haven't. And I have no comment."
As the Daily News first reported, Canseco took his turn before former Sen. George Mitchell last year, giving up names and making an offer to help Mitchell in his investigation into steroid use in baseball.
"Until someone like Jose is part of the investigation as an investigator, they aren't going to get much cooperation," Canseco's attorney, Rob Saunooke, told The News then. "Jose could meet face-to-face with some of the individuals, use his own friendship with them and knowledge of them and talk with them comfortably. If Jose sits down face-to-face with you and reminds you of all the good times, then he says, 'It's time for us to come clean with these things.'"
Saunooke did not reveal the additional names Canseco gave investigators, but said his client also named front-office people who may have had knowledge of steroid use in the game. The interview was "just to detail more about what he's already put in the book, from a player participation level, but also managers, trainers, administrators, or people who would have known or been apprised of what was going on," Saunooke said.
