Brian Cashman revealed on Sunday that his relationship with Alex Rodriguez has deteriorated to the point that he is no longer comfortable talking to the player.
"I'm not comfortable talking to Alex about this because we feel we are in a litigious environment," Cashman said. "Hello and goodbye, that's about it. I'm not comfortable talking to him anymore. I don't want to be distorted."
Cashman said he and Rodriguez had crossed paths at the team hotel on Friday night, but merely exchanged greetings.
"I said hello," Cashman said. "I don't walk by him. He's a member of this team."
