Alex Rodriguez spoke with the Yankees on Wednesday, telling them he wanted to explore whether he could work out a deal to return to New York.
Members of the Steinbrenner family and top team officials participated in the discussion, a person familiar with the talks, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the club didn't make any announcement, told The Associated Press.
The discussions were first reported by the New York Daily News.

Rodriguez, who opted out of his contract last month and became a free agent, said he wanted to talk with the Steinbrenner family before he started discussions with other franchises and that he wanted to remain with the Yankees. It was not immediately known whether the discussion took place in person or by telephone. His agent, Scott Boras, did not participate.

If what i have been hearing on the radio is correct and he reached out to Hank and Co., and will take a pay cut, and really wants to be a Yankee I am cool with that

I agree. This finally shows me something from ARod, he's taking control of his situation instead of folliowing Boras. Now if he can only solve that October hitting thing.

I think Alex and Boras overplayed there hand. The Angels were only going to offer him 220 million for 10 years and I heard that was the best offer he recieved. In reality the Yankees are the only team in baseball that can afford him
