During the 2012 playoffs, Tacopina said, the Yankees hid from Rodriguez that a magnetic resonance imaging test had revealed that he had a torn labrum — essentially a hole in his hip — and continued to play him, even though he was struggling mightily.
“They rolled him out there like an invalid and made him look like he was finished as a ballplayer,” Tacopina said.

As for a new GM and whatnot, I'm all for it. After this whole situation getting as ugly as it has, it's time to wipe the slate clean and move into a new era.
The ownership has been remarkably quiet, especially for Steinbrenner's, but I'm not too sure what that says about the state of the franchise.

this is exactly what they want....a player to be on the front soaking up the media attention, this way no one questions
1) why team got so cheap
2) why their farm system sucks
3) why they cant develop players (joba phil)
4) why the killer Bs became killer busts
5) why they didnt get the international talent (yu, ryu, cespedes, chapman, etc)
6) why they are forced to continually sign over the hill veterans for important spots (see #2 as reason)
7) why martin and ibanez were not resigned...how AJ burnet got traded and became a stud again....etc etc
this ownership cares only about the bottom line, and as they save more money they want to keep the fans distracted, enter ARod
