New York Yankees

After Derek Jeter’s retirement, one of the biggest questions heading into Major League Baseball’s offseason was how the New York Yankees would replace The Captain at shortstop.

The New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez is expected to make his 2015 Grapefruit League debut in spring training Wednesday.

What are realistic 2015 expectations for A-Rod? How has Rodriguez looked thus far in spring training? How has he been received by his Yankees teammates?

Following the 2014 World Series, Alex Rodriguez's season-long suspension came to an end. Now, the controversial star has to convince the New York Yankees that he is healthy enough to be a productive piece for the franchise in 2015 and beyond.

That journey began Monday as he participated in an intrasquad game and will continue Wednesday when he plays in his first exhibition game.  

This is not how things are supposed to go for the New York Yankees.

When it comes to desiring a commodity and having a willingness to spend for it, the Yankees are not supposed to swing and miss. And while the occasional whiff has happened under the Steinbrenner family reign, missing out on the prize they covet, for a myriad of reasons, is becoming more common.

The New York Yankees have a ton of question marks heading into spring training. It will be the first time in a long time without Derek Jeter at shortstop. Alex Rodriguez will likely lead the league in publicity, but he may or may not hit. And there is no clear-cut choice to start at second base.

Alex Rodriguez reported to spring training Monday for the New York Yankees, seeking to get his career back on track after being suspended in 2014. 

Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports was on the scene in Tampa, Florida, to record some key details:

Everyone, Alex Rodriguez would like you to know that he's sorry.

Not that it matters for most, of course. After all he's been through, the vast majority of baseball fans are likely permanently against the New York Yankees veteran slugger. Instead of winning back the everyfan, really his only hope of redemption is to at least win back Yankees fans.

Alex Rodriguez apologized once again on Tuesday, as the New York Yankees controversial star issued a formal apology to the fans for everything about the Biogenesis situation.     

When an athlete gets his or her number retired, family, friends and former teammates usually have nothing but kind things to say.

That's not the case with Andy Pettitte.

On Sunday, Josh Pettitte—one of Andy's sons—broke the news that the New York Yankees would be retiring Pettitte's No. 46 in 2015:

Two more former New York Yankees are headed to Monument Park.
