Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez (born July 27, 1975), nicknamed "A-Rod", is an American former professional baseball shortstop and third baseman who played 22 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB).
He played seven seasons with Seattle Mariners, three seasons with the Texas Rangers and twelve seasons with the New York Yankees. Rodriguez began his professional career as one of the sport's most highly touted prospects, and is considered to be one of the greatest baseball players of all time.
Jennifer Lopez and her fiancé Alex Rodriguez are considering a bid to buy the New York Mets, according to a report in Variety.
The couple have reportedly retained JP Morgan Chase to raise capital for a potential bid. The Wilpon family, which has owned the Mets outright since 2002, almost sold the team to hedge fund leader Steve Cohen last December, but the deal fell through with the Wilpons saying in a statement that "the transaction as contemplated would have been too difficult to execute." The deal had the Mets valued at $2.6 billion.
