After MLB meeting, A-Rod doesn't expect poker punishment

"After meeting with Major League Baseball investigators for almost two hours Friday, Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez hinted he did not expect to be disciplined for his poker playing.

"Nothing about that,'' Rodriguez said at Camden Yards before a game against the Orioles.

Asked if he was told to change his off-field behavior, Rodriguez said, "Nothing like that was discussed.''

Rodriguez was accompanied by his lawyer, Jay Reisinger, and David Prouty, chief labor counsel for the Players' Association.

"I can't get into anymore. In fairness to them I answered all their questions until I got tired. I will let them come back to you," Rodriguez said. "Whatever I said, I said in there, and I am excited to play baseball.

They have the information and I assume they will report to the commissioner. I don't know what they will do with the information. They asked questions and I answered them.''

Four MLB investigators arrived at an area hotel at 10:30 a.m. and left at approximately 2:15 p.m. Two were Dan Halem (senior VP, General Counsel-Labor) and Dan Mullin (senior VP, Dept. of Investigations).

"Representatives of our office met with Alex Rodriguez today and Mr. Rodriguez answered all of our questions," MLB told Reuters in an email. "Beyond that, we are not going to go into detail on our investigation.""
