Reggie Jackson has united the Twins and Yankees! He is a miracle worker! Per ESPN.com:
After Reggie Jackson's disparaging comments about Alex Rodriguez and others last week, he was essentially benched by the Yankees and told to stay away from team events indefinitely, according to AL sources.
Jackson was not in Boston over the weekend, where the Yankees played the Red Sox.
Jackson, a special adviser for the Yankees, usually is around the team.
But at this time, there is enough anger at the Hall of Famer from within the organization that the team has decided that he should keep his distance until otherwise determined.
"A cooling-off period, but not a death penalty," a source with knowledge of the team's thinking called it when speaking to ESPNNewYork.com's Andrew Marchand.
At some point, Jackson is expected to be back with the team, the source said.
Jackson spent Friday apologizing to Rodriguez and the club's hierarchy, officials with knowledge of the conversations told ESPNNewYork.com last week.
