Yanks’ star says in court papers that 5-year marriage 'irretrievably broken'

Alex Rodriguez said he agrees with his wife on two things: Their marriage is over, and she’s a good mother to their two daughters. But A-Rod said allegations of infidelity shouldn’t bear on their divorce.

The New York Yankees’ All-Star third baseman said in papers filed in Miami-Dade Circuit Court that his five-year marriage to Cynthia Rodriguez is “irretrievably broken.” But because Florida is a no-fault divorce state, Rodriguez contends that his wife’s claims of affairs are “immaterial and impertinent.”
