I don't know why people are writing the Cubs aren't in it because they have to trade Sammy Sosa first.
Kevin didn't have me pursue any teams because he wanted to see how his health was. He decided after the painful process last year he was not going to play. His arm is still remarkably good, but it's about his back. He had to endure a lot to throw last year.
The Yankees have never addressed or spoken with me in regard to any off-field activities regarding Alex Rodriguez. And the Yankees have never spoken to Alex regarding any of his off-field activities,

We're going to try to exhaust the situation with the Yankees before we move forward.
We had a situation where we knew Alex was going to be traded -- but we had to wait and see where he would end up. So we had an oral understanding, a bridge.
When they drafted Pelf, he had thrown a lot of innings. We all felt he would benefit from a break, so we didn't even really start serious talks until January.
