PHOENIX (AP) - A federal magistrate judge planned to rule Friday on an application by The Associated Press to have prosecutors reveal the names of players allegedly implicated in drug use by former major league pitcher Jason Grimsley.
During a hearing Thursday at federal court in Phoenix, Major League Baseball Players Association lawyer Ethan Balogh called the AP's attempt to make the names public a "craven search for the sensational and the morbid, nothing more."
Balogh argued that to reveal the names would violate the players' right to privacy and unfairly brand them even though they have not been charged with any wrongdoing.
