The General Manager won't speak with the player. The player ratted on
at least one teammate. The manager is being charged by the player with playing him hurt in 2012. Welcome to
The Concrete Bunker On 161st Street—home of the $203,445,586 train wreck that is the 2013 New York Yankees. They may have pulled within 7.5 games of the Red Sox last night, but if there really is anything like team chemistry—their Bunsen Burner just blew.
Brian Cashman stated yesterday that he felt "uncomfortable" talking to his highest-paid player because he feels trapped in a "litigious environment". New A-Fraud lawyer
Joseph Tacopina claims that the Yankees hid medical tests from A-Rod that showed he had a torn hip labrum, and that
Joe Girardi deliberately sent him out to play in the post-season to convince him he had diminished skills. Yankee President
Randy Levine did not mince words in his assessment of
Alex Rodriguez's new attack strategy,
"Alex should put up or shut up." Ah,
The Big Apple Circus!
