New York Yankee Alex ''A-Rod'' Rodriguez and wife Cynthia, in the final stages of divorce, just listed their waterfront villa in Coral Gables -- for $14.876 million. The 8,310-square-foot residence, at 181 E. Sunrise Ave. in Sunrise Harbour, sits on more than an acre on the bay. There are six bedrooms, seven full baths, pool, plus a three-car garage.

The couple bought the property for $12 million from philanthropist and arts patron Ella Cisneros in December '04, shortly after the birth of their first child, Natasha. They also have a daughter, Ella. Cynthia's parents, John and Evangeline Scurtis, live nearby on Battersea Road.

The Rodriguezes reached a marital settlement agreement last month, but the divorce is not yet final. ''They're getting along well and focusing on raising their children,'' says Maurice Kutner, one of Cynthia's lawyers. Natasha turns 4 in November; Ella is 5 months.

Coldwell Banker's Polly Schiff and Kim Gomberg have the listing. Cynthia, 35, is reportedly house-hunting in the Gables and Coconut Grove. Word is the 33-year-old major leaguer has been hanging his cap at a home on Star Island. He also has a condo on Manhattan's Upper East Side. He's got plenty of bucks -- his 10-year baseball contract is worth $275 million.

Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Maynard ''Skip'' Gross is presiding over the divorce. No court date set.
