La Figura de la Semana

Arn Tellem

Por: Dagoberto Galán

La controversia se hizo presente y mientras de un lado está el dueño de los Yankees, George Steinbrenner, en la otra esquina el protagonista es el agente de Jason Giambi por la renuencia de éste a responder a preguntas de la prensa sobre su testimonio ante el jurado investigador en el caso del uso de esteroides. "El tribunal dijo a Jason que podía decir lo que quisiera", dijo Steinbrenner. "El tribunal le dio permiso. Y Arn Tellem dice que no". "Simplemente, no me gusta ese tipo", agregó Steinbrenner acerca de Tellem, el agente de Giambi y de Hideki Matsui.

En diciembre, el diario San Francisco Chronicle reportó que Giambi dijo a un jurado investigador federal en el 2003 que él había usado esteroides. Giambi se disculpó durante una conferencia de prensa en Nueva York el 10 de febrero, pero nunca explicó por qué se disculpaba.

Tellem dijo que las autoridades habían pedido a Giambi que no discutiese públicamente su testimonio. Steinbrenner arribó al Legends Field el sábado en la mañana y pasó junto a Tellem, que estaba hablando con reporteros acerca de las negociaciones para extender el contrato de Matsui. Tellem dijo que no se toma los comentarios de Steinbrenner como cosa personal, y agregó que no afectan para nada las conversaciones sobre el contrato de Matsui.


Arn Tellem

Por: Dagoberto Galán – Translation: Félix DeJesús

Controversy presented itself within the New York Yankees clubhouse. On one side of it is owner, George Steinbrenner and on the other, Jason Giambi’s agent, Arn Tellem. The rift is due to the player not answering the media’s questions regarding his testimony to the grand jury on steroid use. “The courts told Giambi he could say whatever he wanted,” Steinbrenner said. “The courts gave him permission and Arn Tellem said no. "I just don’t like the guy,” Steinbrenner added about Tellem, the agent for Giambi and Hideki Matsui. In December, the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper reported that Jason Giambi testified before a federal grand jury in 2003 that he had used steroids. Giambi said that he was sorry in a press conference on February 10th in New York but he did not say for what he was sorry. Tellem said that the authorities had told Giambi not to disclose anything public about his testimony. Steinbrenner arrived at Legends Field on Saturday morning and passed by Tellem who was speaking with reporters about Matsui contract extension. Tellem said he does not take Steinbrenner’s words personally. He added that it would not affect conversations in regards to Matsui’s contract.
