Former Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez confirmed Tuesday that he is retired and has no intention of attempting a comeback.

Rodriguez told reporters after his first workout as a guest instructor with his old club that he has “zero” interest in lacing them up again.

Rodriguez retired abruptly in August after the Yankees made it clear that they would be releasing him. He added Tuesday that other teams expressed interest in signing him after he was released by the Yankees.

Rodriguez, 41, ended his career four home runs shy of 700. He won AL MVP three times and led the league in home runs five times.
