Print Edition
NEW York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez, returning from a 162-game ban for using performance-enhancing drugs, apologized to team officials on Tuesday, the Major League Baseball club said.
The apology was given during a meeting at Yankee Stadium where Rodriguez and his attorney Jim Sharp met with team owner Hal Steinbrenner, president Randy Levine, general manager Brian Cashman, and assistant general manager Jean Afterman.
“Alex initiated the meeting and apologized to the organization for his actions over the past several years,” the team said in a statement. “There was an honest and frank discussion on all of the issues. As far as the Yankees are concerned, the next step is to play baseball in spring training.”
Rodriguez, who will turn 40 in July, is still owed US$61 million guaranteed over the next three years, and a potential of US$30 million more in bonuses for reaching home run marks that the club is trying to get out of.
