According to a source of New York Daily News writer Mark Feinsand, Alex Rodriguez grabbed a first-base glove of Mark Teixeira’s on his way out of the clubhouse Sunday, and is said to have plans to take ground balls at first base during the four-day All-Star break.
It was also reported that Rodriguez plans to work with infield coach Joe Espada starting Friday as he looks for versatility in his fielding ability. He is currently a full-time DH, and only appeared in six games last season on defense – four at third, and two at first where he didn’t look comfortable.
