SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -Giants owner Peter Magowan expects to meet with commissioner Bud Selig in the near future to discuss the Mitchell Report.
Magowan and San Francisco general manager Brian Sabean were interviewed during the investigation by former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell about what they might have known about possible steroid use on their club by players such as home run king Barry Bonds.

Magowan declined to further discuss any issues – such as whether he thought his team would be disciplined by Major League Baseball – surrounding the report, which was the culmination of a 20-month investigation into steroids and drug use in baseball.
