"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York Yankees DH Alex Rodriguez did not discuss his disputed marketing bonus in detail when speaking with reporters Sunday.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yankees GM Brian Cashman&amp;nbsp;told reporters Saturday that the team will not pay Rodriguez the $6 million bonus he was supposed to earn for tying Willie Mays on the all-time home run list.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"I haven\u2019t given it much thought,\" Rodriguez said Sunday, according to the &lt;em&gt;New York Daily News&lt;/em&gt;. \"My focus is (Red Sox pitcher Joe) Kelly throws 98 tonight and I\u2019m almost 40 years old. So I\u2019d better be focused.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rodriguez's&amp;nbsp;660th home run came as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning of Friday's game against the Red Sox and broke a 2\u20132 tie. The Yankees hung on to win 3\u20132.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;Red Sox transfer catcher Ryan&amp;nbsp;Hanigan&amp;nbsp;to 60-day DL&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In January, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Daily News&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;reported&amp;nbsp;the Yankees were \"preparing for a battle\" over payment of Rodriguez's bonuses. Considering Rodriguez's repeated steroid use, the Yankees believe the bonuses are no longer marketable and thus should no longer be paid out.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Dan Gartland and Mike Fiammetta&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
