A List of All Players Named in the Mitchell Report
The following is a list of the Major League Baseball players named in the Mitchell Report. Inclusion on the
list does not necessarily mean the player was involved in illegal activity. In some instances, insufficient
evidence was provided to draw a conclusion, and some players were mentioned in other contexts.
The Mitchell Report also stated that interviews were requested of five MLB players who had spoken out
publicly on the steroid issue. Of these players, only one, Frank Thomas, was willing to be interviewed. The
Mitchell Report categorically stated that there was no evidence that any of these five had used
performance-enhancing drugs. Curt Schilling, one of the four players who declined to interview with
Mitchell, explained that he denied Mitchell's request because he “would have nothing to offer” Mitchell’s
investigation “other than personal opinion and hypotheticals.”

PlayersIdentified through direct interview (2)
Daniel Naulty: Naulty expressed remorse for his admitted use of steroid and human growth hormone over several years as
a player in both the major league and the minor leagues during a telephone interview with Mitchell Report investigators.[110]
Wally Joyner: "In an interview for this investigation, Joyner told us that he struggled with the decision whether to try
steroids, but eventually he decided to use them. After taking the drugs three times, Joyner decided that he had made a mistake, discarded the rest of the pills, and never tried illegal performance enhancing substances again."[111]
Players Identified through other means (7)
Manny Alexander: On June 30, 2000, police discovered steroids and two hypodermic needles in the glove box of
Alexander's vehicle. Alexander had loaned the vehicle to a clubhouse employee of the Red Sox, Carlos Cowart, and Cowart and a friend of his were sitting in the parked vehicle when the officers approached, in the belief that the vehicle might have been stolen.
Ricky Bones: In June 2000, a clubhouse attendant with the Florida Marlins discovered syringes and two kinds of steroids
(stanozolol and nandrolone decanoate) in a paper bag inside Bones's locker. When questioned by Mitchell, Bones admitted that he had procured the steroids from a doctor in his native Puerto Rico and then administered them to himself.
Alex Cabrera: In September 2003, a package intended for Cabrera was delivered to the Arizona Diamondbacks' clubhouse.
Clubhouse attendants reported the package to the trainers and told Cabrera the package was lost. League officials tested the contents of the package and discovered it contained anabolic steroids (Winstrol) and over-the-counter diet pills. Through investigation of the package, Major League Baseball discovered that "players with the El Paso Diablos, a minor league affiliate of the Diamondbacks, regularly crossed the border into Mexico to purchase steroids." Cabrera was unable to be tested regarding the package, but denied ever having used steroids after the report was released.
Paxton Crawford: Crawford admitted to using human growth hormone and steroids while playing for the Boston Red Sox
in 2001 and 2002. In an article in ESPN The Magazine, Crawford recounted an incident where syringes had fallen on the floor of the locker room, causing other players to laugh. Crawford declined to be interviewed for the Mitchell investigation stating he did not "do that stuff anymore." Other Red Sox players deny the syringe-dropping incident ever happened.
