After being told about trade rumors printed in the Wallstreet Journal that would send third baseman Alex Rodriguez to the Phillies, the Yankees star laughed. "It doesn't make any difference," Rodriguez said of the rumor that had the Yankees third baseman going to the Phillies as part of a blockbuster trade for Bobby Abreu, Pat Burrell, Tom Gordon and David Bell, with the Yankees supposedly also sending Melky Cabrera and a player to be named. "I would veto it."
