Alex Rodriguez’ career with the New York Yankees will come to an end on Friday when he plays his final game against the Tampa Bay Rays and now speculation has turned to where he might play next and the Rays are getting some consideration.
Most people have called the move by the Yankees and A-Rod a “retirement,” in large part because he has already announced that he will accept a position with the Yankees as a minor league adviser. But interestingly, Rodriguez never said he was retiring and left open the possibility of playing again.
In reality, this is mostly a face-saving move by A-Rod.
