SAN DIEGO — Nobody expected Alex Rodriguez to turn into a tub of goo while suspended for the 2014 season, but he has a few pounds to shed to hit the weight the Yankees have told him to report at when spring training opens in late February.
Matt Krause, the second-year Yankees strength and conditioning coach spent Wednesday with Rodriguez in Miami and told general manager Brian Cashman that Rodriguez was moving in the right direction.
Nevertheless, he is not there yet.
"Like all our players, we have a report weight we are hopeful they hit. He is approaching that. He is not at the spring-training weight that we desire yet,'' Cashman said of Rodriguez, who was listed in last year's media guide at 225 pounds. Cashman wouldn't say how much Rodriguez weighs or at what weight the Yankees want him. "There was progress. Matt continues to tweak his conditioning program.''
Cashman talked to the Dodgers about infielder Dee Gordon and the Phillies concerning shortstop Jimmy Rollins. Wednesday, Gordon was dealt to the Marlins and Rollins to the Dodgers.
"I reached out to L.A. and didn't get any traction there,'' Cashman said. "Earlier in the winter, I did talk to the Phillies about Jimmy Rollins. The conversations never went to exchanging names. They said they would want more than we would pay.''
Rollins controlled his movement because he was a five-and-10 player, and there was a belief he didn't want to be the shortstop to replace Derek Jeter.
"I was never told he was unwilling to waive his no-trade clause. We never got names from Philadelphia,'' Cashman said. "We got from them that they would want a lot.''
Cashman said he doesn't anticipate being active in Thursday's Rule 5 draft. With the 40-man roster at 37 the general manager is holding spots open for possible free-agent signings or trades.
