The New York Yankees saga with beleaguered star third baseman Alex Rodriguez continued Thursday as a report in the New York Daily Newsrevealed unhappiness in the Yankees' clubhouse revolving around the A-Rod investigation.

According to the report, an anonymous Yankees player said the "guys are tired of it" and the media circus surrounding Rodriguez is "insane." The unnamed teammate revealed while the Yankees could probably use Rodriguez's bat, he thinks no one in the clubhouse would want any of the "circus" that follows Rodriguez.

Rodriguez is among reportedly 15 players who could be suspended by MLB in the coming weeks for connection with the Biogenesis clinic, including Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun who was recently sentenced to a 65-game suspension. He could be facing a lifetime ban from Major League Baseball for using performance enhancing drugs.
