Apparently A-Rod left the stadium with his supplier cousin yesterday. I don't care if the two of them just went out for a bite to eat, the less he's seen with the guy the better.
Yeah, the Yankee brass wasn't at all happy with that either:
One day after A-Rod was chauffeured from Dunedin Stadium back to Tampa by his cousin Yuri Sucart, the Yankees met with the third baseman to inform him that Sucart was no longer allowed anywhere near the team.
"Yuri won't be around anymore," a source with knowledge of the meeting told the Daily News. "They can't stop him from hanging out with him away from the ballpark, but he won't be at the ballpark."

GM Brian Cashman said the club was not aware that Sucart had been granted access to restricted areas, but after learning of the incident from news reports, the Yankees addressed the situation Thursday.
"That's been taken care of," Cashman said. "It's been handled."
Cashman declined further comment, but a source said the GM and team president Randy Levine had spoken early in the day with Rodriguez, telling him in no uncertain terms that Sucart was not welcome around the team.
According to the source, Rodriguez apologized and admitted that he had made yet another mistake, just the latest in a long line of them for the three-time AL MVP.
