A-Rod, J.Lo Take Step Towards Compiling Bid For Mets

By Jeff Todd | April 21, 2020 at 3:15pm CDT

April 21: Rodriguez and Lopez approached Miami businessman Jorge Mas about joining their group, per MLB Network’s Jon Heyman (Twitter link), but the 57-year-old MasTec chairman declined the offer. Mas previously headed up his own group in hopes of purchasing the Marlins before the Derek Jeter/Bruce Sherman group won that bidding.

April 20: When the concept was first mentioned, it wasn’t clear whether Alex Rodriguez was seriously interested in headlining a bidding group for the Mets. But he and pop singer/fiancee Jenifer Lopez have recently taken at least one notable step towards a potential play for the franchise, Scott Soshnick of Variety reports.

Rodriguez, much like predecessor Barry Bonds, finished his playing days with one of the most impressive but deeply stained resumes in baseball history. Performance-enhancing drugs tarnished both players, though A-Rod has taken quite a different path since hanging up his spikes. With a series of major media roles, he has crafted a familiar post-PED profile.

Precisely what sort of bidding group might be compiled isn’t clear, but A-Rod and J.Lo have retained JPMorgan Chase to see about putting one together. There was never any doubt that the celebrity couple would need to participate with other, yet wealthier investors to take over the Mets. At last look, the current Wilpon family ownership group had yet to mark down its $2.6B sticker price for the organization.

It’ll certainly be interesting to see whether this story has legs — not just because of the obvious potential for gossip-rag fireworks. The Mets have had their issues over the years, but it’s awfully rare to see big-city teams hit the market. It seems all but inconceivable that the franchise value won’t take a hit in light of the coronavirus pandemic — whatever the long-term outlook, there’ll obviously be a major near-term operational shortfall — but whether and to what extent remains for the market to decide.

      LOL. Funny about how people buy into “I’m a Mets fan” stuff from A*Roids.

      Interesting how he plays to the crowd. In Miami, for years he talked about how he’s been a Marlins fan since Day 1. Even wanted to play for them. I guess this story doesn’t play well for the NY media that’s trying to hype this up.

      The gullible are awesome to hear from!

          I know he says that, but in Miami, where he lived/s, he has said he’s a Marlins fan too, and even wanted to play for them during his career a few times.

          I guess your NY media forgets to mention that part.

          Arod literally wanted to play with the Mets before he signed with than Yankees. But the Yankees offered more. You really need to do research…

          FYI…A*Roids literally wanted to to play with the Marlins at different points in his career, but they weren’t going to pay him that salary. During his free agency that eventually landed him in Texas, he spent a great deal of his time before agreeing to that deal, reaching out to the Marlins to see if they would sign him because he wanted to play at home in Miami. Over the years, he had a few moments when he openly stated that his dream would be to play at home in Miami. He even had a couple of instances when he stated he would love to buy in. He was even trying to get into Jeter’s group to purchase the Marlins. And to top it off, was his comments at being thrilled that his nephew Joe Nunand was drafted by the Marlins so the family can all see him playing at home.

          As for research, I am part of the South Florida baseball community…ahem…the community that A*Roids came through. Actually have chatted with him a few times over the years when he’s done some of his charity appearances down here, and when he’s attended games for his high school Alma Mater, etc. So, who is it that needs to do research?

          The guy plays to the crowd, but since E!SPN and FOX Sports find NY and Boston to be the only stories that mean anything to them, they never cover anything baseball related in Miami, so individuals like you who get their information from NY media driven materials, never know what happens outside of your little worlds until it explodes in your faces…which happens a lot with Mets fans.

          He’s playing to you guys after Jeter turned him down from being part of the ownership team, and because Jeter will never bring him in because Jeter and Michael Jordan don’t care for him, and after he’s wanted to play here and wanted into Jeter’s ownership group. But I guess this is another case of NYers thinking that they are correct because what they don’t know about doesn’t exist in their minds. I guess that many like you that, when you hear about it, will just cover your ears and scream, “NA NA NA, I don’t hear you! NA NA NA!” All the while A*Roids tells your media, “I’ve always wanted to be a Met and was a fan,” while he hopes that none of them find the clips, stories, or people in Miami that have where he has said the same thing with the Marlins.

          Hey, I want him with the Mets. All of us fans of division rivals want him to own the Mets. So, there is no arguing that. But when it comes to him just playing to the crowd, we in Miami…ahem…where he came through for his baseball career…know he plays to the crowd and has always had questionable character, ever since he was juicing with Westminster.

          Okay, you can uncover your ears and stop screaming now.

I hope that is how A-rod will end up being an owner lol.

    Amazes me why the US puts the spotlight on Rodriguez as a positive business owner even though he clearly cheated and was washed up in the last days of his playing career and useless, except for one series, in the playoffs. And they’d still pay bonila. Jlo on the other hand would be positive female owner for baseball.

        traveling man…… “A lot of people love Alex!”

        A lot of people throughout history have loved duplicitous narcissists like A-Rod.

        A brief bit of history. In 2003 a young man with dreams of playing baseball took his own life while in deep depression and rage brought about habitual steroid use . His name was Taylor Hooton. He was 17.

        Not long after his farther, Don, started the Taylor Hooton Foundation. It’s goal was and is to inform kids of the dangers of PED’s. After A-Rod’s lie filled mea culpa in 2009 Mr Hooton asked A-Rod is he would be interested in helping the foundation and he said “yes”.

        From 2010-2013 A-rod would travel the country meeting kids. “Rodriguez would make appearances, speak from the heart and donate money, putting his outsized fame and fortune to the best possible use. Don’t take foolish risks with your body, Rodriguez would say. Don’t take shortcuts and risk disgrace to your name, or health consequences down the line, Rodriguez would warn.” He would sign “promise sheets” with the kids…..he would look them in the eyes and swear with them to never do PED’s and he was flat out lying the whole time. That is the kind of guy you and others love.

          abgb123………”So he can never redeem himself?”

          He hasn’t yet. He did try old school redemption in 2014. What i mean is redeem comes from the French rédimer, which means “to deliver,” and which in turn comes from the Latin redimet for “buy back.”. After MLB suspended him for Biogenesis, the Taylor Hooton Foundation cut ties with him. He then went full “redimet” and sent a big check to them which Don Hooton sent back.

          The day he fully and completely fesses up to everything he may get closer to redemption but that is not his M.O. He only confessed to the DEA because they threatened to prosecute but he has never really confessed to the public.

          Hence why people tell parents to be your kids hero. Smart people don’t let there kids worship superstar athletes. Can’t blame A-Rod for what that kid did, and unfortunately that’s exactly how your statement comes across..

          Athletes never owe the public an apology. See your one if those people who put there dreams and admiration on athletes. Then when they’re tarnished you act like they owe you. I’d stake my life you’ve got skeletons in your closet. Do you owe me an apology? Most certainly you do I guess.

    They need some wealthier owners willing to do the city and team right. There was bad luck don’t get me wrong but I don’t know if they were ever going to be able to spend like they should be able to.

    I have been a loving fan of the NY Mets since 1973.
    If baseball allows an ego driven, known cheater to buy a team…I will never watch another MLB game for the rest of my life. He and his slutty woman will ruin baseball worse than when he knowing cheated in the game I have loved for 47 years. It’s your call MLB.

    Arod would be nuts buying a franchise now. Give it a few years after the economy has worked through the pandemic. This team is way overpriced right now. The economy is going to dump even worse. It’s possible professional sports teams will go bankrupt. Wait Alex, wait.

    I think many fans of NL East rivals will want to see this definitely happen. So many benefits for rival teams.

    1 – Mets continue to be the attention seeking laughing stock of the division.

    2 – Mets will have even more classless ownership.

    3 – One knows that there will be so much that gets mishandled by A*Roids because he can’t help himself.

    4 – We can’t wait for the new hires and transactions: Angel Presinal as the new team trainer; both Anthony Bosch and Anthony Galea will be hired to run the medical department; Doug Mientkewics as new GM; Robinson Cano becomes player/manager; and then the first major trade…A*Roids sends Pete Alonso and Amed Rosario to the Marlins for Joe Dunand.

        Okay, so every fan in the NL East can agree…Mets fans, Marlins fans, Phillies fans, Braves fans and Nats fans all want A*Roids to buy the Mets.

      I don’t think this would upset Jeter or the Marlins that much. Think about how much attention this would get Jeter and the Marlins from the national media if this happens. You think E!SPN and FOX would ignore the chance to play these teams games against each other? The Marlins are building a nice team. When/if both teams are contending in the same season, those two networks will be salivating at the story. And forget it if they both make the playoffs in the same season and meet in a WC game or series. It’ll be another opportunity for those networks to talk about both of them ad nausea like they did when they both played.

      How would the Marlins lose with the added attention from this?

        it wouldnt upset Jeter probably, but i could see A-Rod thinking it would because he’s such a genius. i could also seeing him want to stick it to Jeter because that’s probably what he does to anyone who is respectable.

          Obviously many of us can see many things wrong with A*Roids logic, but how about this for a miscalculated effort of his on this situation.

          A*Roids lives in Miami. And a good portion of his family still does too. Say he buys the Mets to try to stick it to Jeter. If the Marlins win another championship before the Mets win another one, how would that feel for A*Roids seeing Jeter in a championship parade in A*Roids’ hometown!?

    He/She who brings the cash, makes the decisions/calls…
    If somehow in a longshot deal, they talk their way into a deal,
    first thing they will do is have a fire sale, strip the team, and
    start collecting cash from the TV revenues.
    Mets will become the Marlins, Royals or A’s…

    A-Rod would be a far better owner than Derek Jeter. His running the Marlins into the ground is why he should not have been and was not unanimous for the HOF. I’m voting for the one guy that didn’t vote for him for President.
