Rodriguez: Contract talks in 'bottom of fifth'

/ Associated Press  Posted: 3 hours ago

Alex Rodriguez said contract talks with the New York Yankees are "in the
bottom of the fifth inning."

A-Rod didn't go into detail but in a video interview with MLB.com posted over
the weekend did refer to negotiations that are leading toward a $275 million,
10-year contract with the Yankees.

"When the time is right and I have a proper forum ... I think it's important
for New York fans, for the New York Yankee fans, to realize exactly what
happened, from A to Z," said Rodriguez, expected to win his third AL MVP
award Monday.

Rodriguez did talk about how he approached Yankees senior vice president Hank
Steinbrenner to restart negotiations after agent Scott Boras told the team
A-Rod was opting out of the final three seasons of his $252 million, 10-year
contract.

"I think it's the best way you can do things, you know, and I felt sometimes,
you know, the messages can be mixed up and you may be getting some
information that is not 100 percent accurate," he said. "I just took it upon
myself to call Hank and, you know, talk to him and have a chat with him one
on one."

The sides have agreed to the outline of the deal and are working to finalize
it. Rodriguez talked about his desire to stay in New York.

"Long after baseball, New York is going to be part of our lives," he said.
 "I have some unfinished business in New York."
