| October 17, 2006 Lou Piniella, the new manager of the Cubs, has stated that he expects his new team to strongly pursue Alex Rodriguez over the offseason, according to ESPN.com. The Yankees have stated that they have no intention of trading A-Rod, but of course, that doesn't mean they wouldn't deal him if they got the right offer. Rodriguez has a no-trade clause and could veto any deal, but he does have a close relationship with Piniella, so he may be willing to waive it to go to the Windy City. |
| October 10, 2006 Yankees GM Brian Cashman said that trading Alex Rodriguez was not part of his offseason plan. "I fully expect him to be here," Cashman said Tuesday. "We're going to figure this thing out together." Cashman did say that he received a number of inquiries about A-Rod before the trading deadline. |
| October 3, 2006 Manager Joe Torre has announced that Alex Rodriguez will be dropped to No. 6 in the batting order to begin the playoffs, according to Newsday.

| August 27, 2006 After going 0-for-5 on Friday, Alex Rodriguez was inserted second in the batting order by manager Joe Torre for Saturday's game, according to the AP.

| August 25, 2006 Alex Rodriguez was back in the lineup Friday after missing a game with a throat infection, according to the AP. "He looked a lot more wide awake today," manager Joe Torre said.

"We'll see on the turf," Rodriguez said. "I don't know if I'll play all four games. I'll keep (manager) Joe (Torre) updated." |
| July 19, 2006 Although Alex Rodriguez didn't start last night due to his sore toe, he was able to pinch-hit in the eighth inning and remained in the game. X-rays on the digit came back negative, and he said he plans to start today, according to the New York Daily News. |
