Alex Rodriguez to expand role as Fox broadcaster
NEW YORK (AP) After spending two postseasons as a guest studio analyst for Fox, Alex Rodriguez is expanding his role for the network.
A-Rod will be a game analyst and feature reporter for the network and FS1 and will continue to work in the studio, the network said Tuesday in announcing a multiyear deal.
