| 17th January, 2006 - 3:37 pm |  AP - Alex Rodriguez was among 60 players on the Dominican Republic's preliminary roster for the World Baseball Classic but it wasn't immediately clear whether he would play.
The AL MVP, eligible to play for the United States and the Dominican Republic, said last month that he intended to play for the Dominican team, then said he wouldn't play at all because he didn't want to offend either country. His agent, Scott Boras, said last week that Rodriguez had not made a decision. Gene Orza, the No. 2 official of the players' association, said he would attempt to persuade A-Rod to participate.
After submitting the roster Monday, Dominican general manager Stan Javier said he was unsure whether the New York Yankees third baseman would play. Final 30-man rosters for the 16-team tournament, scheduled for March 3-20, are due five days before each team's opener. [READ] |
