Alex Rodriguez - Pre-Suspension Statements lyrics

"There's a lot of layers," Rodriguez said after playing a rehab game for Double-A Trenton. “I will say this: There's more than one party that benefits from me not ever stepping back on the field. That's not my teammates and it's not the Yankee fans.” When asked who the parties were, Rodriguez said: "I can't tell you that right now... And I hope I never have to." “I think it's pretty self-explanatory,” Rodriguez said. "I think we all agree that we want to get rid of PEDs. That's a must. I think all the players, we all feel that way. But when all this stuff is going on in the background and people are finding creative ways to cancel your contract and stuff like that, I think that's concerning for me, it's concerning for the present and I think it should be concerning for future players, as well. There is a process.” “I'm mentally prepared to play for five more years,” said Rodriguez, who insisted he's not ready to retire. “It's not time for me to hang it up. I have a lot more fight in me.”
