Alex Rodriguez wants to play the hand he's got with the Yankees.

Arriving at his charity poker tournament Wednesday night, the slugger insisted he wants to stay in New York rather than be traded to a town where the fans might not be so hard on him.

"My choice is to play for the New York Yankees," said Rodriguez, who got in a bit of trouble with poker last year. "My family now is beginning to really get comfortable here, my wife, my daughter. And I love New York. I love the challenges New York brings."
