Alex ''A-Rod'' Rodriguez, whose wife Cynthia filed for divorce Monday in Miami-Dade circuit court, added more players to his legal team: Alan Kluger and Jason Marks. They filed a notice of appearance on Tuesday.

Attorney Ira Elegant, who also represents Alex, is vacationing in Turkey but due back next week.

Elegant has another multimillionaire star athlete client: Shaquille O'Neal, who is divorcing Shaunie.

Among Kluger's divorce clients: one-time waitress Karen Kozlowski, whose multimillionaire husband L. Dennis Kozlowski, Tyco International's ex-CEO, is in a New York prison for 8 1/3 to 25 years for helping to steal millions from the company. Dennis' lawyer, Martin Haines III, says a settlement has been reached and the divorce should be final this month.

Kluger also represents developer Jeff Soffer of Turnberry Associates in his split from wife Kimberly. Jeff filed -- in Colorado.

Cynthia's Miami lawyers are Maurice Kutner and Anthony Sabatino. She also has two Houston lawyers, Earle Lilly and John Van Ness.
