A-Rod has a LinkedIn profile

New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez has had a significant amount of time on his hands as the result of his season-long suspension due to his involvement in the Biogenesis scandal. 

While the 39-year-old is most likely working out and enjoying the Miami sun, he's apparently also promoting his own brand online, by creating a LinkedIn profile. 

From Brian Costa of The Wall Street Journal:

One person who has been in direct email contact with Rodriguez in the past received an email from the professional networking site last weekend with the subject line: "Alex Rodriguez just joined! Want to connect?" The e-mail went on to invite the person to "help welcome Alex and get connected."

It listed Rodriguez's title as "Founder, CEO and President of ARod Corp," based in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area, where Rodriguez grew up.

A LinkedIn spokeswoman said the company has not been in touch with Rodriguez's camp to confirm it is an official page but said, "All signals indicate it is a real profile." Rodriguez's spokesman didn't respond to multiple requests for comment.

While Rodriguez is still owed $61 million over the next three seasons from the Yankees, this could be a preemptive strike to find employment for those retirement years.
