Yankees' Manager Joe Girardi claims that he's not concerned about the personal issues of Alex Rodriguez, according to Newsday.

Rodriguez's wife Cynthia filed for divorce on Monday.

"I think Alex is focused every day," Girardi said.

Girardi claimed that A-Rod is used to being mentioned in backpage gossip and stated he wouldn't get involved in the third baseman's personal issues.

"That's a personal matter that I choose not to talk about, but as a manager, it is my job and my responsibility to get the most out of all my players," Girardi said.
