If there is one thing that every professional athlete should know, its that every bit of news must go through the proper chain of command before it is leaked to the media. This allows everyone to get their story straight before it is leaked to the media. Unfortunately, Alex Rodriguez has broken protocol and it has landed him in hot water with Yankees general manager Brian Cashman.
Rodriguez has been out all year on the disabled list due to hip surgery that he had last winter. Recently he has been rehabbing the injury in simulated games until he received clearance from team doctors to take his rehab to the next step with actual in-game action. The controversy arose when Rodriguez took to Twitter to announce to his followers that his surgeon has cleared him to play in rehab games. While one may think that this is news the Yankees would be happy about, the reaction from Brian Cashman seems to suggest otherwise.
