Matt Franco
Matt Franco played as an infielder with three teams in Major League Baseball
between 1995 and 2003, the New York Mets, Chicago Cubs, and Atlanta Braves.
Although Radomski stopped working for the Mets after the 1994 season, he
continued to socialize with Mets players and personnel. Radomski said he met Franco when he
played for the Mets and that he came to know Franco “very well.” Radomski said that he sold
Franco steroids on one occasion in 2000 after Franco called him to place the order. This call
occurred, according to Radomski, after Radomski ran into Franco at an event.
Franco agreed to an interview by telephone with my investigative staff. During
that interview, Franco denied ever purchasing or using any performance enhancing substance.
Franco also denied that he ever met, knew, or talked with Radomski, asserting that he had never
even heard of Radomski before the publicity over Radomski’s guilty plea.
