The New York Yankees have held discussions with the Miami Marlins about a trade involving their third baseman in crisis, Alex Rodriguez.
Sources close to both organizations confirm the Yankees would pay all – or virtually all – of the $114,000,000 Rodriguez is owed in a contract that runs through the rest of this season and the next five. One alternative scenario has also been discussed in which the Yankees would pay less of Rodriguez’s salary, but would obtain the troubled Marlins’ reliever Heath Bell and pay what remains of the three-year, $27,000,000 deal Bell signed last winter.
Heath Bell? Yankees mess, solved.
WFAN's Mike Francesa reports Yankees GM Brian Cashman's response: "Story is false." But hey, Keith Olbermann? Let's just wait and see what Rob Lowe has to say.
