can't stay out of the headlines.
The ex-Yankees star and all-time great slugger has transitioned away from the field into a spotlight of broadcasting (FOX Sports, ABC News) and a high-profile celebrity relationship with pop star Jennifer Lopez.
But someone from Rodriguez's past is attempting to drag him down.
According to a report from TMZ, Rodriguez is the victim of an extortion attempt by an ex-girlfriend. The woman is reportedly looking for thousands of dollars, with the threat of exposing private messages between the former big leaguer and her for the world to see.
