NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner says he has been disappointed by Alex Rodriguez’s behavior at times during the star third baseman’s career in pinstripes.
Steinbrenner made the comments after attending a news conference at Yankee Stadium on Monday to announce that the Big Ten and Pinstripe Bowl have agreed to an eight-year deal.
A day earlier, general manager Brian Cashman told ESPN he didn’t think A-Rod could live up to the expectations created by his $275 million, 10-year contract that has five years remaining.
Rodriguez is rehabbing his surgically repaired hip and is not expected back until after the All-Star break. Steinbrenner says the Yankees really need the three-time MVP to come back strong.
