Rodriguez issues a statement:
Alex Rodriguez is still in Tampa rehabbing his surgically repaired hip, and mentioned on Thursday that he's not ready to discuss his connections with the South Miami Biogenesis clinic and the ongoing performance-enhancing drug scandal in Major League Baseball.
A-Rod on Thursday released this statement:
"Myself and others are being mentioned in a media report before the process is even concluded. I would hope this thing would follow the guidelines of our Basic Agreement. I will monitor the situation and comment when appropriate. As I have said previously, I am working out every day to get back on the field and help the Yankees win a championship. I am down here doing my job and working hard and will continue to do so until I'm back playing."
Rodriguez is just one of the suspected 20 players that Major League Baseball is looking at suspending for their involvement with Biogenesis founder and the man at the heart of this ongoing scandal, Tony Bosch.
The New York Daily News reported on Wednesday that Rodriguez denied to give Bosch financial assistance to help in his lawsuit that was filed against him in March by MLB.
"A-Rod refused to pay him what he wanted," a source told the Daily News. "Baseball was worried about that."
Apparently A-Rod denied Bosch the request of hundreds of thousands of dollars. After Rodriguez said no to his over whelming request, Bosch went to MLB and began to cooperate. Because of his cooperation, MLB will drop their lawsuit against Bosch.
Jeter to have his ankle examined:
Derek Jeter will have a CT scan on his injured left ankle and will be examined by Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, N.C. Jeter says he hopes to be cleared to increase his baseball activities.
"Can't do anything different until I see the doctor, so absolutely no news," Jeter said. "I wish I could do more, but I can't until I go to the doctor."
Jeter had been working out at Yankee Stadium in New York, but moved his rehab program to Tampa on Thursday, to resume his recovery at the Yankees' minor league complex.
Yanks have a trio of 1st round picks:
It's draft day in the MLB, months of player scouting and evaluating are finally ready to payoff. The Yankees will have three picks in the 1st round (26th, 32nd, 33rd).
Yankees GM Brain Cashman said that the team always drafts the best players at their position and not what the team needs. He said that will be the teams plan for this year as well.
The Yankees haven't really produced a star since drafting Derek Jeter in 1992. Since then they've draft players such as Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain, David Phelps, and many more.
Here is a list of every player the Yankees have used their 1st pick on, since 2000. This year, their 1st selection will be the 26th pick.
