| Player Notes |
| July 23, 2008 The Brewers have added free agent Jay Gibbons, according to the AP. The Brewers have purchased his contract from the Atlantic Leagues Long Island Ducks and will assign him to their Double-A affiliate in Huntsville, Alabama. |
| July 22, 2008 Jay Gibbons is expected to sign with the Brewers as early as today, reports the Baltimore Sun. Gibbons has been unable to find work with another club since getting released by the Orioles in March. |
| July 22, 2008 Jay Gibbons is said to be on the Brewers' radar, according to the AP. Gibbons has been unable to find work with another club since getting released by the Orioles in March. |
| June 16, 2008 Jay Gibbons has signed a deal with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League on Monday, according to the Sports Network. |
| March 30, 2008 Jay Gibbons was released on Sunday, this according to the Sports Network. Gibbons was limited to 84 games last season due to injury. He hit .230 with six home runs and 28 RBI before undergoing season-ending surgery on his left shoulder in August. |
| March 28, 2008 Jay Gibbons has had his suspension delayed for 10 days, as MLB needs further negotiations regarding the sports substance-abuse policy, according to SportsTicker. Gibbons may still have the suspension reduced or removed, but we likely won't know for certain until the season is underway. |
| March 26, 2008 The Orioles may have to make a decision on outfielder Jay Gibbons sooner than they think, according to the Baltimore Sun. The commissioner's office and the players union are negotiating changes to Major League Baseball's drug policy in the wake of the Mitchell Report, and the result could be the rescinding of Gibbons' 15-day suspension for violating the substance-abuse prevention program. Senator George Mitchell, who released a study in December on steroid use in baseball, recommended granting amnesty to all the players mentioned in the report. Gibbons, who admitted to using human growth hormone, was one of 86 players cited. The Orioles had planned to fill that roster spot and prolong the evaluation of other potential roster candidates. If this change comes to fruition, decisions will need to be made quickly. |
| February 20, 2008 Jay Gibbons said Tuesday that his surgically repaired shoulder feels good enough that he could play now, according to the Baltimore Sun. The catch, however, is that Gibbons will miss the first 15 games of the season for violating MLB's drug policy for receiving shipments of human growth hormone. "You know, it's just one of those things where you look in the mirror, and I have no excuses," he said. "I blame myself. It's definitely something that's out of character. I took a shortcut and I'm paying the price with the 15 days." The injury prone outfielder is going to have his work cut out for him to earn game time once he's eligible to play, since the O's added Adam Jones and Luke Scott to the outfield in trades and already are deep at first base and DH. |
