Some of Barry Bonds' former teammates, along with other retired Major League Baseball players and perhaps current player Jason Giambi, will have to testify at the slugger's upcoming perjury trial, a federal judge said Friday.

It seemed that the 2009 season was going to be a season of rebirth for the Oakland A's. Their money ball wizard General Manager, Billy Beane, spent the off season as one of the most aggressive clubs in the Major Leagues.

They added Jason Giambi, Matt Holiday, and Orlando Cabrera, but as the season headed south all those acquisitions were traded away at the trading deadline.

While this has been the M.O. of the A's in recent years, it really seemed that this team had turned a corner.

DENVER(AP) Garrett Atkins hit a two-run homer and Jason Giambi had a two-run double in a five-run third inning, sending the Colorado Rockies to their seventh straight win, 5-1 over the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday.

DENVER(AP) Jason Giambi 's pinch-hit two-run single off Brian Stokes broke an eighth-inning tie and powered the Colorado Rockies past the New York Mets 5-2 on Wednesday night.

The Colorado Rockies have signed former AL MVP Jason Giambi to a minor league contract. The 38-year-old Giambi will report to Triple-A Colorado Springs, hoping for a September call-up to help the Rockies with their pennant push.

Colorado went into Monday with a three-game lead in the NL wild-card race.

Jason Giambi was released by the Oakland Athletics on Friday, cutting short the struggling slugger's second stint with his first major league club.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- The Oakland Athletics have released struggling Jason Giambi, cutting short the slugger's second stint with his first major league club.

Alex Rodriguez faces a decision far more important to his career than deciding where to sign, whether to accept a trade or if and when to opt out of his contract.

How A-Rod responds to a report that he tested positive for steroids in 2003 will likely frame his pursuit of the career home run record and could define his playing days in the view of fans and Hall of Fame voters.
