A cousin of New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez is scheduled to plead guilty next week in the baseball steroids scandal, the last defendant remaining in the case.
CC Sabathia gave up two runs and four hits over two innings in his first spring training start, a New York Yankees' 4-2 loss Tuesday night to the Toronto Blue Jays.
Union head Tony Clark says the baseball players' association has no issues with Alex Rodriguez.
Alex Rodriguez drew a mix of cheers and boos in his first road game this spring, and a New York Yankees split squad lost to the Toronto Blue Jays 1-0 Saturday.
The Yankees insist there's nothing behind the curious omission of Alex Rodriguez's first home run since 2013 on their Twitter page. But fans have taken notice.
Rodriguez hit a long drive to left-center on a 3-1 pitch from right-hander Brandon Workman leading off the fourth inning. Rodriguez has five hits in 11 at-bats (.455) this spring training.
Names alone don't win games, and the ones Joe Girardi will write on the lineup card are mostly old, some recovering, others waiting for the injury shoe to drop and ruin their seasons.
Alex Rodriguez went 0 for 2 with a walk in his second exhibition game Friday night, a New York Yankees' split-squad 3-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
OK, so you want to hear about players other than Alex Rodriguez? I get it. But don't try to alter the facts of the case
Speaking to WFAN's Mike Francesa on Thursday afternoon, Chase Headley addressed sharing a clubhouse with A-Rod and what it has been like for him as he prepares for his first full season with the Yankees.
Taking a look at who's hot and who's not on the NY/NJ sports landscape.
The New York Post is marking Alex Rodriguez's first hit in over 17 months with an asterisk. But not everyone is amused.
The Yankees slugger went 1 for 2 with a walk in a spring-training loss to the Phillies on Wednesday, another step forward as he tries to resume his drug-scarred career.
Boomer predictably advised his radio partner to calm down, reminding him that there is a lot of time between now and the start of the NFL season.
"Once you hit rock bottom, any time you hear a few cheers these days is a pleasant surprise," Alex Rodriguez said after his spring debut.
A-Rod returns on Wednesday for his first game in 17 months, slated to be a designated hitter for two or three at-bats against the Phillies at Steinbrenner Field in New York's spring training home opener.
Alex Rodriguez will skip the Yankees' exhibition opener against Philadelphia in Clearwater and is slated to make his spring training debut at Steinbrenner Field on Wednesday.
The Yankees begin exhibition play Tuesday against the Phillies. Manager Joe Girardi said he'll announce Monday whether Rodriguez will be in the lineup for the game.
In addition to cheering, many of the about 500 fans in attendance Thursday called out A-Rod's name as he moved from drill to drill and in and out of the batting cage.
If the old man ever heard the new-age, "I'm OK, you're OK" stuff coming out of Yankees co-owner Hal Steinbrenner's mouth lately, he'd blow his top.
"Hopefully this spring he can contribute, that's the bottom line," Steinbrenner, the Yankees' co-chairman, said. "He can hit. He's a natural. Hopefully he can still do it."
The Yankees have said Alex Rodriguez's days of being an everyday fielder are over. But that didn't stop him from showing off the old glove and arm on Thursday.
At the risk of public redundancy and personal duplicity, I say give Alex Rodriguez a chance. A chance to show his face. A chance to swat a single to win a game.
Inside the Yankees fridge, there's a plethora of leftovers. The lobster isn't fresh. The filet mignon is long gone. But, this is it. Hal's done shopping.
The man considered MLB's true home run king told Newsday earlier this week that he wants to see A-Rod come back strong after serving a yearlong suspension for PEDs.
