NEW YORK -- If Alex Rodriguez opts out of his contract after this season, the New York Yankees insist they won't try to re-sign him.
"How can we? We lose all our money from Texas,'' Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Thursday.
Rodriguez, presented on Thursday with a key to the city in honor of his 500th home run, has 3½ seasons left on his record $252 million, 10-year deal, but he can opt out of the contract this fall and become a free agent -- a decision the slugger would have to make within 10 days of the end of the World Series.
Rodriguez is owed $24 million in each of the next three seasons by the Yankees, with Texas offsetting about $21.3 million of that. He is guaranteed an additional $3 million annually by the Rangers, the original deferred money in his contract that was converted to an assignment bonus at the time of his trade to the Yankees.
He received the key to the city from Mayor Michael Bloomberg at Yankee Stadium before a game against the Detroit Tigers while teammates and manager Joe Torre looked on.
"It will be something I hold dear to me for the rest of my life,'' Rodriguez said.
Keys to the city are presented to distinguished people for outstanding civic contributions. Last week, the mayor presented a key to New York Mets pitcher Tom Glavine in honor of his 300th career win.
A-Rod and Glavine are in lofty company. Past recipients of keys include the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, Pope John Paul II and Mother Theresa.
Cashman said the club has not spoken to A-Rod or his agent, Scott Boras, about a potential contract extension.
"We'd like to have him stay,'' Cashman said. "We'll have those discussions at the end of the year.''
Rodriguez and Boras also have said they won't discuss the third baseman's contract status with the Yankees until after the season.
"He's earned the right to opt out if he so chooses,'' Cashman said. "He has a contract. We hope he doesn't opt out.''
Asked if it would be cost-prohibitive for the Yankees to pursue A-Rod as a free agent, Cashman said yes. He also confirmed that if Rodriguez opts out of his deal, the Yankees can offer him arbitration.
The GM said the team's position has been reported before, so it shouldn't be surprising.
"It's pretty obvious. It shouldn't be a shocker. Sounds like it'll play like a shocker. Good, it will take away from whatever gets said today in the other dugout,'' Cashman said, a reference to Gary Sheffield's return to Yankee Stadium with the Detroit Tigers.
Rodriguez entered Thursday night's game against leading the major leagues with 39 homers and 114 RBIs. A leading candidate for AL MVP, he was batting .307.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Bad Game for the Yankees they got the hits but did horrible with men on base, also A rod's error didn't help.

According to the Boston Herald, Wily Mo Pena is on the verge of being traded or designated for assignment by the Red Sox. A move of some kind is expected by Friday, when the Red Sox will likely use Pena's roster spot for Clay Buchholz. Pena has cleared waivers, so he can be traded anywhere. Buchholz is expected to start Friday, at which point he'll likely be sent back to the minors with Bobby Kielty replacing Pena long term. finally. Wily Mo > every option we have at left field. Somehow, I know we have no interest in him.
