Yanks: We Have No Campaign Against A-Rod
Looks like the Yankees brass reads Bob Raissman. Via Peter Botte –
There is no team campaign against Alex Rodriguez, the Bombers said Friday. Yankees president Randy Levine insisted through a team spokesman Friday that, “Nobody in this organization is mad at Alex.”
Pinstriped brass otherwise didn’t have a lot to say about a report in Friday’s Daily News. That report quoted a TV industry source as saying team officials were angered that A-Rod hadn’t immediately informed them he’d been contacted by the FBI, which wants to question him in its investigation of Dr. Anthony Galea.
In response to assertions that the organization also backed the YES Network’s decision to highlight Rodriguez’s most recent controversy during Wednesday’s telecast of the spring-training opener, GM Brian Cashman added that he has “never told YES to do or not do anything.”
Below, we have some exclusive WasWatching.com footage of Yankees G.M. Brian Cashman on his way to address the media on this topic while Alex Rodriguez anxiously awaits to hear what Cashman has to say about the team’s position on him given his latest situation:
Apparently, the Yankees’ braintrust are a lot smarter than the “writers” who cover NY sports, and the lower level fools who may or may not pretend to have inside information that they leak to these “writers.”
The Yankees approved Lindsay. So the knew or should have known that he had a relationship with Galea. Consequently, they probably realize that the current optics problem is at least 50% their fault.
