Gossip between Randy Levine and Jeffrey Loria may result in trade talks of Alex Rodriguez – MLB
Sources close to the matter have revealed that informal conversation between New York Yankees’ president Randy Levine and Miami Marlins’ owner Jeffrey Loria may transform into formal trade negotiations of Alex Rodriguez.
Although the Yankees’ officials have vehemently rubbished such reports, it cannot be ruled out that some progress in this regard has been made.
Getting Alex Rodriguez through trade by the Marlins will be headline news. It will be one of the drastic revelations of the offseason.
He will be a huge addition to the Marlins if the trade materialises. In light of the fact that he boasts an amazing career record, he can strengthen the Marlins’ offence immensely.
When concerned officials of the Yankees were approached, they denied any such development. They have termed the rumour baseless and one that has nothing to do with reality.
Rodriguez has resisted the detraction which can occur if he immerses into the speculations regarding his trade. No wonder instead of offering clarification to the reporters regarding the rumour, he has shown his commitment with the goal of leading the Yankees
to wins.
Rodriguez appears to be focused on the task at-hand as opposed to unveiling his intent regarding trade possibilities. He is more concerned about helping the Yankees in the important matches ahead.
"I love the Yankees. I love this organization," Rodriguez said. "My focus right now is to help this team come together and win a game. Do not allow all this negativity and questions and gossip stuff or this c**p or that c**p, let's just focus on winning
a game and go from there ... What I will tell you is I hope nothing is going on like that at this point because our only focus, from top to bottom, is to win a baseball game right now."
Rodriguez has struggled with the Yankees this year. If the rumour about his trade spreads further, it will not be something worth trashing at first sight. In-fact, it will be considered as a valid possibility by the fans and the experts.
Within a few days, the real nature of the conversation between the Yankees’ president and the Marlins’ owner may be known and as to what extent it was related to Rodriguez.
