Giambi meets with steroids investigator

? Jason Giambi met with George Mitchell on Friday, becoming the first active player known to talk with baseball’s steroids investigator.

Mitchell and his staff finished interviewing the New York Yankees slugger, and no further meetings were scheduled, a person familiar with the session said on condition of anonymity because the parties agreed not to make any statements other than the release from Major League Baseball.

Commissioner Bud Selig announced the meeting, which took place in New York, but released no details other than who attended. Selig was not present. Giambi had previously admitted he had a “personal history regarding steroids.” The New York designated hitter agreed to the session on June 21 after Selig threatened to discipline him if he didn’t speak to Mitchell.

Last month, Giambi said he wouldn’t implicate other players.
