TAMPA -- With spring training winding down, Alex Rodriguez finally showed up to Yankees camp on Monday for his part-time gig as a Yankees special advisor.
Wearing a Yankees practice jersey with No. 13, A-Rod was behind the batting cage schmoozing before the Yankees-Tampa Bay Rays' 6:35 p.m., game at Steinbrenner Field.
Boone talked at length with manager Aaron Boone, he chatted with spring training guest instructor Willie Randolph and he exchanged pleasantries with a few players, new slugger Giancarlo Stanton included.
What did A-Rod have to say?
When Yankees batting practice ended, A-Rod walked past a group of reporters on his way to the dugout and then to the home clubhouse.
