Katie and Tom, Sitting in a Tree - KISSING A-ROD?

This story ran this morning on the AP wire:

BY AP:

Before he lied to her about steroids, Alex Rodriguez turned to Katie Couric for career advice.

On last night's "Late Show with David Letterman," Couric said she was speaking to A-Rod frequently when he opted out of his contract with the Yankees in 2007, trying to convince him to do a "60 Minutes" interview.

At one point, Rodriguez called to ask her, "What team do you think I should play for?"

Letterman responded, "That should have told you he was on the juice, that he's calling you.

Now, to my knowledge, no media member put 2+2 together to realize and write that Katie Couric was dating Red Sox co-owner Tom Werner, the TV mogul who introduced us all to the likes of Tom Hanks and "Bosom Buddies," among others such as the hits Cosby Show and Roseanne.

But, he was co-chairman of the Boston Red Sox at a time that the teams were competing for the services of A-ROD, now known to most as F-ROD.

Hmm. Calling the Commissioner, calling the Commissioner. Oh yeah, A-Rod was planning to opt-out of his contract and would be a free agent, so that it makes it fine for the girlfriend of a team owner to be coercing a star player from a rival team to (do just what?). We do not know.
