• Alex Rodriguez still cringes over mirror-kiss photo shoot
Alex Rodriguez will never live down a photograph from a shoot in 2009 for Details magazine in which he kisses his own reflection in the mirror.

In a wide-ranging recent interview with David Marchese of The New York Times Magazine, Rodriguez touches on what l...2019

2024
"Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor is no longer selling his controlling stake, saying minority owners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez didn't meet contractual deadlines."

2023
"That’s because last summer, the newly minted Wolves ownership cabal which I assume is composed solely of Alex Rodriguez and CRUNCH made one of the boldest, and already dumbest trades ever, when they sent all their draft equity and much of their depth to Utah in exchange for 30-year-old, 7’1, Saint-Quentin France native Rudy Gobert-Bourgarel."

2022
"Mike Trout, Mark McGwire, Alex Rodriguez, Brad Lidge and more reflect on the most memorable moments on Pujols' path to 700."

2021
"Instead, the ESPN coverage featuring analysts Alex Rodriguez and Matt Vasgersian made the national broadcast of the American League Wild Card Game sound […]"

2020
"Alex Rodriguez and fiancee Jennifer Lopez have retained J."

2019
"Most baseball fans are aware that Alex Rodriguez currently holds the free-agent contract record -- two times over -- but who held the record before him?"

2018
"Alex Rodriguez will join ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" broadcast team, replacing Aaron Boone, who left to become manager of the Yankees, a source confirmed on Tuesday."

2017
"When Alex Rodriguez needs a moment to clear his mind, he'll sometimes reach for one of his old game-model bats, now stashed near his office desk."

2016
"Love him or hate him, Alex Rodriguez will be missed"

2015
"Alex Rodriguez hit three home runs, including a game-tying drive in the ninth inning, and John Ryan Murphy crushed a go-ahead three-run homer off Glen Perkins as the Yankees rallied from behind for an 8-5 victory over the Twins on Saturday at Target Field."

2014
"Reinstated New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez admitted to PED use during a meeting with the DEA in January, according to a report from the Miami Herald."
