Roger Clements is not welcome in the Olympics
Roger Clemens isn’t welcome on the U.S. Olympic baseball team. U.S. general manager Bob Watson said Wednesday that he isn’t considering the 45-year-old right-hander for his roster for the Beijing Games.
“From my standpoint, we don’t need that type of distraction,” Watson said.
In addition to his duties as vice president of on-field operations for Major League Baseball, Watson is general manager of professional baseball operations for USA Baseball and works to select manager Davey Johnson’s roster.
A former GM of the Houston Astros and New York Yankees, Watson said he didn’t anticipate being overruled by higher-ups.
