"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York&amp;nbsp;Yankees GM Brian Cashman says manager Joe Girardi has discussed the possibility of having Alex Rodriguez spend some time at first base next season, according to Chad Jennings of&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;The Journal-News.&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rodriguez, who will turn 40 next July, has only played third base and shortstop during his 20-year career. He has not played shortstop since playing six innings there in three games in 2005.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In recent years, Rodriguez has played more often as a designated hitter. In his suspension-shortened 2013 season, Rodriguez was the DH in 37 percent of his games.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;Yankees sign GM Brian Cashman to three-year extension\u200B&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"I don't think it's safe to just assume Alex can play third base,\" Cashman said, according to ESPNNewYork.com's Wallace Matthews.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chase Headley, who played both third and first base this season after being acquired in a deadline trade, is a free agent. He has said he would like a chance to play every day, which would seem unlikely with Rodriguez at third base and Mark Teixeira at first.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Dan Gartland&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
