A-Rod failed to make the team, with Yankees teammate Mark Teixeira getting the nod instead.
A-Rod certainly had the numbers to make the team, and definitely could make a case to make it then.
However, it seems like the MLB is too focused on their image, and many still feel some type of way against him due to his past steroid and PED allegations. After all, the man was suspended for a full year the season before.
I personally would have liked to see A-Rod to make the team. It would have made an interesting storyline.
