02/18: Full Transcript and Video of A-Rod's February 17 Press Conference; Plus Reaction From Johnny Damon, Brian Cashman and Joe Girardi
Posted by: Patrick
MLB.com has the full video from A-Rod's press conference yesterday, as well as a full transcript. For more, check out Seamus' liveblog.
Brian Cashman was clear in his feelings, after wards. "Those are the facts he gave you," Cashman told Peter Abraham when asked about A-Rod's "young and stupid" explanation. "It doesn’t mean it's acceptable. I like the fact more that he was stupid rather than young or naive. It was a bad decision that may cost him on so many levels."
"We’ve invested in him as an asset. And because of that, this is an asset that is going through a crisis. So we'll do everything we can to protect that asset and support that asset and try to salvage that asset." I'm on the same wavelength as Cash here. A-Rod has a lot of work to do.
The video below features a part of this quote, plus some reaction from Johnny Damon (who is simply glad that A-Rod didn't murder anyone - kidding!) and Joe Girardi.
