When Jose Canseco rush delivered his second juicy, gossipy, hey-everyone-look-I'm relevant-again steroid book, Alex Rodriguez was his biggest name implicated in some naughty PED business. Canseco didn't necessarily say he saw Rodriguez take anything, or that he himself injected Rodriguez -- just that he referred A-Rod to a dude named Max who had the hookup.

That's all we got: Max. (Probably not the dude's real first name.) No last name. No nothing, really. But that might all change Tuesday when federal agents have a nice little chat with Jose.

In particular, federal authorities want to know the identity of a steroid distributor that Canseco said he introduced to Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, according to a lawyer familiar with the matter.

It will be of interest o see just what Canseco reveals. Who knows if it will amount to anything. But think of this: what if Canseco provides a name of this dude and he corroborates Canseco's claims? And then the feds go to A-Rod next?

Could get interesting. Could get dicey. Yessir, it certainly could.
