ESPN is reporting that Joe Torre, in his soon-to-be published book ‘The Yankee Years,’ writes that Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez was called ‘A-Fraud’ by his teammates, while Torre was manager of the New York Yankees.

Teammates frequently called Alex Rodriguez “A-Fraud,” and the third baseman was obsessed over his rivalry with shortstop Derek Jeter, “The Yankee Years” reveals, according to the New York Daily News and New York Post.

The book by Torre supposedly shows that Torre is very bitter about how the Yankees and their GM Brian Cashman treated him on his way out the door in the Bronx.  It does seem that teammates, fans, and enemies of A-Rod all seem to think the same thing about him.
