Yankees to hold press conference with Alex Rodriguez on Sunday
The continuing story of Alex Rodriguez has taken yet another turn.
According to Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe on Saturday, the Yankees have scheduled a press conference with Rodriguez for Sunday morning. General manager Brian Cashman and manager Joe Girardi will also reportedly be in attendance.

Rodriguez, 41, is hitting just .204/.252/.356 with nine home runs and 29 RBIs in 62 appearances for the team in 2016. It had been rumored that the 14-time All-Star might be released before the end of the season, a development that Rodriguez is said to be at peace with.
The Yankees are still on the hook for the $24 million Rodriguez has left on his deal, per Darren Rovell of ESPN. The three-time AL MVP had previously announced his plans to retire after the 2017 season. But with the Yankees shifting into rebuild mode and a potential release looming, perhaps Sunday will provide us with some clarity as to if that timetable has changed at all.
