Alex Rodriguez is remaining with the New York Yankees as a special adviser.
A-Rod served as an adviser and instructor following his retirement as a player in August 2016 through the end of his $275 million, 10-year contract last fall.
New York said Sunday that Rodriguez and Nick Swisher had been added as special advisers, joining Reggie Jackson and Hideki Matsui.
"I think he has a lot to offer," new Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "Hopefully it's an opportunity for him to impact our team. I think everyone understands just how smart of a baseball mind he is and his ability I think to communicate that sometimes is really something he's special at, especially with the younger guys."
Rodriguez is replacing Boone as an ESPN analyst on Sunday night telecasts.
"These are exciting times for the New York Yankees, and I do not take this opportunity for granted," Rodriguez said in a statement.
"I am genuinely thankful for the trust the organization has placed in me, and I am looking forward to lending whatever support or expertise is needed of me."
