Joe Torre discussed the recent steroid admission by Alex Rodriguez on Friday afternoon, and said that he believes the third baseman's numbers are "tainted."

"I was very saddened by it," said Torre. "I'm happy that Alex admitted it. Knowing him personally, I know how proud he is of what he's done and how hard he works. I haven't been around anyone who works harder. I know it's important to him to continue to add to his numbers, because he has a chance to do a lot of special things numbers-wise, but now they're going to be tainted, because people don't forget.

"Alex Rodriguez is in great shape, and I'm not that familiar with what things do for you, but I know how hard he works and how much devotion he has to the game; but I'm sad about everything that's gone on."
