导出博客文章BOSTON -- If Alex Rodriguez is expecting a grand send-off at Fenway Park, he shouldnt hold his breath.Although the Boston Red Sox likely will make a low-key acknowledgment of A-Rods prominent role in the age-old rivalry with the New York Yankees at some point during this weeks three-game series, a source said the club isnt planning a farewell ceremony along the lines of those received by Yankees greats Mariano Rivera in 2013 and Derek Jeter in 2014 or by Red Sox icon David Ortiz at ballparks across the majors this season.Rodriguez announced Sunday that he intends to play his final game Friday night at Yankee Stadium. That means his last road games will be at Fenway Park, where the Yankees and Red Sox will open a series Tuesday night.As with most things involving Rodriguez, his history with the Red Sox is complicated. He made his major league debut at Fenway on July 8, 1994, for the Seattle Mariners?in a game that featured an unassisted triple play by Red Sox shortstop John Valentin. He nearly was traded to Boston in December 2003 -- with the Sox working out an agreement to send Manny Ramirez and then-pitching prospect Jon Lester to the Texas Rangers -- but the players union nixed the deal over what reportedly would have been an unprecedented $28 million reduction in Rodriguezs salary.Rodriguez instead wound up in the Bronx and instantly became a Boston villain. He took a mitt to the mug from Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek during a midseason brawl in 2004 and infamously slapped the ball out of pitcher Bronson Arroyos glove to avoid a tag in Game 6 of the 2004 AL Championship Series.In 2013, after announcing he would appeal a 211-game drug suspension, Rodriguez got plunked by Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster, then responded by hitting a home run.Its fitting that A-Rods abrupt retirement would encompass one final trip to Fenway Park, but its also doubtful the Red Sox will throw him a party on his way out the door.
