New York ? Alex Rodriguez has millions of dollars in his investment accounts, three AL MVP awards for his trophy case – and zero World Series rings for his fingers.

“There’s definitely a huge hole in the resume. And I mean, it’s my third MVP, and I’m here to say that I would trade all three for one world championship. I wouldn’t think twice about it,” Rodriguez said.

Of course, a World Series will have to wait. But for now, he has the satisfaction of his latest MVP, won Monday in a romp over Detroit’s Magglio Ordonez.

While A-Rod wouldn’t address why he opted out of his old Yankees contract or the reasons for his decision to reverse course and return to New York, he did slip this into a 30-minute conference call: Yankees general manager Brian Cashman asked him after the 2006 season, after he was dropped to eighth in the batting order in the playoff finale against Detroit, whether he’d prefer a trade.

“I had many, many opportunities,” Rodriguez said. “There was a lot of interest from a lot of other teams, and I felt I didn’t want to go anywhere.”

Rodriguez received 26 first-place votes and 382 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, while Ordonez had two firsts and 258 points.
