Rodriguez became an offseason focal point again this winter with the release of former manager Joe Torre's book, "The Yankee Years."

Torre mentioned that some people in the Yankees clubhouse referred to Rodriguez as "A-Fraud."

"Like I've said before, we all support Alex. He's our teammate," Jeter said Wednesday after working out at the Yankees' minor league complex.

"It seems like that we keep talking about the same things over and over again. It's not like this a new thing that's come up. The only thing that you'd like to see, going into spring training is, you'd like to see everyone talking about the excitement of the season and getting ready for the season. That's the unfortunate thing."
