TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman says that matter of Alex Rodriguez being picked up from his spring training opener by his cousin “has been handled.”
Facing renewed questions about Rodriguez’s associations, Cashman gave a vague reply before New York’s home spring training opener Thursday.
A day earlier in Dunedin, Rodriguez homered and walked twice, then got into a SUV driven by Yuri Sucart. He’s been identified as the cousin who provided Rodriguez with performance-enhancing drugs obtained in the Dominican Republic. Rodriguez admitted using them while playing for Texas from 2001-3.
Rodriguez received mostly cheers with a few boos mixed in Thursday. The crowd included Yankees owner George Steinbrenner.
