On Tuesday, Alex Rodriguez issued a handwritten apology "To the Fans," saying he accepts "full responsibility" for his actions.
Rodriguez says the Yankees offered him a chance to make a public apology at Yankee Stadium, but he wants his next appearance in front of fans to be focused on baseball.
A-Rod was suspended for the entire 2014 season, and is signed to the Yankees through the 2017 season. After a season off, and a 40th birthday in July, it has yet to be determined the capacity and extent in which the Yankees will use him this season.
