Sources familiar with the latest developments in the George Mitchell steroids investigation said Friday that the report will name many players, including some big names and some names that have not surfaced to date.
In a conference call Friday with Major League Baseball's 30 teams, Tom Carlucci of the San Francisco-based law firm Foley & Lardner advised teams on the status of Mitchell's probe into the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball.
One source told Olney, "This is going to be enormous ... it's going to be a huge story when these names come out."
The report is expected to be released between Oct. 31 and the end of the year.
