Fischer is believed to possess the most extensive set of Biogenesis documents, though he says he previously provided a similar set to a friend, which he suspects were passed on to Rodriguez, the embattled Yankees slugger. Fischer contends to have more detailed documents than Bosch.
Fischer acknowledges there is a possibility the documents contain names not previously raised by MLB, as well as a smattering of athletes from other sports who dealt with Bosch and his South Florida clinics.
"Bosch is only going to cop to what is in front of him," Fischer said. "I doubt he has copies of handwritten [patient] notes. And do you think he's going to tell them he injected high school players?"
Earlier in its investigation, MLB sought repeatedly to gain Fischer's cooperation, at one point offering as much as $125,000 to bring him into the fold. Now it has moved on to an angry cat-and-mouse game, with MLB playing hardball and Fischer trying to skirt subpoena servers parked outside his front door.
Dresnick asked at least a half-dozen times Thursday whether Fischer was still in possession of the documents, which led to vague, rambling responses. Fischer noted on each occasion that he didn't feel comfortable engaging MLB's legal eagles without his own counsel, telling the judge he would prefer to be held in contempt of court rather than make a verbal misstep.
