Alex Rodriguez. You can say that he was criticized throughout his career for his use of performance enhancing drugs. Was he on steroids for his whole career, or only for a short period of time? Either way, he shouldn’t be in the hall of fame due to his steroid use. On Saturday it was announced that he will be retiring from Major League Baseball. Figures seeing that he is having a horrible year and is no longer on the juice.
The press conference will be held before the game on Sunday against the Indians.
The team said general manager Brian Cashman and manager Joe Girardi will be made available following Rodriguez’s news conference.
The 41-year-old designated hitter has just one start and seven at-bats since July 22 as the Yankees turn toward a youth movement. He is stuck at 696 career home runs.
Rodriguez has a $20 million salary this year and is owed $20 million in 2017, the final season of his $275 million, 10-year contract.
