According to ESPN, David Wright told reporters at the charity event earlier today that he’d support strict penalties against those caught using illegal PEDs, even if that list includes Paul Lo Duca. According to Wright:

“He’s a guy I’d go to battle for any day. But when you’re talking about steroids, you’re talking about something that’s illegal. No matter how close a friend, I can’t condone steroids.”

The article states that Wright has talked to Lo Duca in the offseason, but not about the Mitchell Report.

I still don’t fully believe much of anything will result in the Mitchell list. Probably a few older vets near retirement that don’t have HOF numbers will end up thrown under the bus as the token sacrifices to cleaning up baseball. Though if this is the case, it should be noted that Paulie easily could end up in this category. Either way, I wouldn’t look too much into Wrights quote, since its the respectable right thing to say, which is what he normally does to the press.
