The New York Yankees traded away Aroldis Chapman on Monday, but Brian Cashman says that doesn't mean the club will consider releasing Alex Rodriguez as a means of focusing more on younger players.

Cashman said releasing Rodriguez is "something that is not being considered right now."

Rodriguez, who turned 41 on Wednesday, is hitting only .206/.256/.364 (64 OPS+) with nine home runs in 58 games this season.
