Analysis: A 14-time All-Star and the 1999 American League MVP, Rodriguez plans to make the announcement in Arlington, Texas, where he spent the first 12 of his 21 major league seasons with the Rangers.

Now 40, Rodriguez decided not to accept a contract offer from the Kansas City Royals, who were interested after Salvador Perez needed knee surgery. |

Analysis: The 14-time All-Star and 40-year-old catcher said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Monday night that he's in great shape and is healthy. A strained right oblique limited him to a career-low 44 games last year with Washington and he hit just .218 with two homers and 19 RBIs. Rodriguez has 2,844 career hits and says being in the 3,000-hit club is important to him. |
