Alex Rodriguez's last game will stream live on Yahoo Sports
This could be the end for New York Yankees designated hitter Alex Rodriguez. Following Friday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, Rodriguez will be released, effectively ending his major-league career.
If Friday is truly Rodriguez’s last game ever, he’ll leave behind one of the most complicated legacies of any athlete in recent memory. He’s already one of the most polarizing players to ever put on a jersey.
