ESPN.com reports that former Mets pitcher Sid Fernandez was named in the Kirk Radomski affidavit that was unsealed in Central Islip yesterday.

The story says, “According to the affidavit, obtained exclusively by ESPN, the former Mets clubhouse attendant received a $3,500 check from former New York Mets All-Star Sid Fernandez, written in February 2005, six years after Fernandez last tried to pitch professionally.”

Radomski was a key source of information in the Mitchell Report on steroids released last Thursday. The newly released file does not specify what Fernandez’s check was for.

Since leaving baseball after given a minor league contract by the Yankees in 2001, Fernandez had played in celebrity golf events.

The ESPN story also says, “Brian McNamee, the personal trainer who named names to Mitchell, is listed as having written four checks for a total of $7,500, and is identified as ‘former NY Yankee employee, personal fitness trainer for Roger Clemens & Andy Pettitte.’ “
