While Major League Baseball has an agreement in place to speak with Tony Bosch, the founder of Biogenesis, the Miami-area clinic at the center of an ongoing performance-enhancing drug scandal, the attorney for another key potential witness yesterday accused baseball of bullying his client.

Martin Beguiristain, the attorney for Carlos Acevedo, who along with Bosch and three others was named in a civil suit brought by MLB in March, told ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” he has filed a motion to have his client dismissed from the suit. Beguiristain expects his motion to be heard Wednesday.

Acevedo, a former partner with Bosch, could presumably be helpful to baseball in supporting and corroborating information presented by Bosch.

Beguiristain said he has spoken with MLB officials within the past week, but they never have met with Acevedo, 34.

“They haven’t sat down with me, much less got anywhere near my client, other than sending investigators to his house to bang on the door,” Beguiristain said. “And threatening him and intimidating him.

“They have … made a very strong enemy. Carlos Acevedo … doesn’t have anything to lose. It is not good to bully somebody that has nothing.”
