Donnelly named in report, becomes FA
Published 12/13/2007 at FOXSports.com News for MLB
The Boston Red Sox did not tender a contract to reliever Brendan Donnelly on Wednesday, hours before he was named Thursday in the Mitchell Report about the illegal use of performance-enhancing substances in baseball.
The move, which makes him a free agent, was announced in an e-mail sent at 12:03 a.m. EST Thursday. The Mitchell Report was released at 2 p.m.
"The club had no idea about names prior to release of this report," Red Sox spokesman John Blake said.
