Tejada is a four time All-Star and former MVP that came to the Astros in a trade made the day before the Mitchell report was released. We caught up with Astros Manager Cecil Cooper on the possibility that Tejada may be dealing with bigger issues than baseball when the season starts.
"Just kind of wait and see how everything plays out. It's always bad when you hear names like that and things comes up, but at this point and time, I don't think it's good for me to comment on that," said Cooper. "If we end up with a situation where we don't have him for a while, then we certainly have capable back ups and capable people who can play for a while."
Tejada has issued a statement saying he's waiting for the meeting with the Justice Department to discuss the issues brought to light from the committee.
