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.
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.
"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.
The labrum is a firm fibrocartilaginous structure that is attached to the inner socket of the shoulder and hip joints.
Aaron Judge, a 2013 first-round draft pick, hit a tying, three-run homer on a 3-2 pitch with two outs in a four-run ninth off reliever Mario Hollands as the Yankees rallied for a 5-5 tie with the Phillies on Tuesday.
The former Red Sox star went on the offensive Sunday after receiving several "vulgar and defiling" sexually charged responses to his tweet congratulating his 17-year-old daughter.
The laconic, iconic closer set 35 MLB records -- including the most saves -- and is more responsible for the Yankees' five World Series titles since 1996 than anyone.
It does seem likely that Tanaka -- a fastball pitcher who's had a UCL injury at such a young age -- is destined for Tommy John surgery. The real question is, if not now, when?
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.
Why is Albero walking 1,200 miles? To raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project. Albero's nephew, Gary, was killed in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"I tried not to go too hard today," Tanaka said. "The reason is, it's natural once you get on the mound and once you're facing batters you want to go hard. That's what I was thinking on the mound."
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.
He may be ready to become the man. At least that's what the Yankees are hoping is Michael Pineda's new mindset.
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.
The 34-year-old left-hander was hobbled by a degenerative cartilage problem in his right knee last season and didn't pitch after May 10. He had surgery in July.
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."
Don't expect the Yankees' slugger to start going the other way. The first baseman isn't about to sacrifice his power.
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.
The Yankees are considering whether to give rotation pitchers an extra day between starts occasionally by using a sixth starter, an idea Tanaka thinks is good.
Does that mean he'd go full-blown Boss? Could there be an organizational shakeup? It sounds like he's not ruling anything out.
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.
