New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez's spokesman, Ron Berkowitz, issued a statement today clarifying some comments Rodriguez made during a public appearance in Mexico on Wednesday.
YANKEES OWNER: Rodriguez 'obviously an asset'
"This process has been taxing both mentally and physically throughout the past 8 months," Berkowitz said. "Alex will abide by the rulings of the federal judge — whatever he decides — and get ready for 2015 should the judge rule against him. He will continue to move forward with his complaint which will help all players against this unfair system. "
The A-Rod comments in question came at the opening of a Mexico City gym he's affiliated with.
"I think that in the year 2014, the league could have done me a favor because I've played 20 years without a timeout," Rodriguez said. "I think 2014 will be a year to rest mentally and physically prepare myself for the future and begin a new chapter of my life."
These were Rodriguez's first personal statements since the suspension was announced. He gave no hint of planning to walk away.
"I have 3 years left on my contract starting in 2015 and I hope to play very well and finish my career in New York," Rodriguez said
