(Newser) – The Yankees have kept Alex Rodriguez benched due to "fatigue" for most of the past two games, but that hasn't stopped the slumping slugger from hitting the clubs in South Beach with current flame Kate Hudson. And whether or not he partied until 2:30am the night before, A-Rod still collects his $203,704.40 per game, writes the New York Post.
