Following his team’s elimination from the Major League Baseball playoffs on Thursday, Alex Rodriguez said that he will be back with the New York Yankees next season.

The Yankees were swept in four games by the Detroit Tigers in the American League Championship Series. The Tigers will now play in the World Series.

“I’ve never thought about going to another team,” Rodriguez said Thursday, according to Fox News Latino. “My focus is to stay here. Let’s make that very, very clear. I will be back and I have a lot to prove and I will come back on a mission.”
