Despite making an appearance at spring training as a special adviser, former New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez said there is "zero" chance he will return to the field as a player.
“I haven’t had those thoughts,” Rodriguez told reporters Tuesday. “I know that was kind of the general sense that I would probably come back and play, but being a Yankee means everything to me. I’m grateful to Hank and Hal Steinbrenner for the opportunity they gave me to rehab my life, to get my life back in order from the mistakes I made.
