MSNBC – Yankees reportedly agree to deal for A-Rod
Now it̢۪s the New York Yankees who are trying to trade for Alex Rodriguez.The American League champions and the Texas Rangers were closing in Saturday on a deal that would bring A-Rod to the Bronx for second baseman Alfonso Soriano and a player to be named, a pair of high-ranking baseball officials said.
