Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have a new project. The couple, whose marriage has been postponed due to a pandemic, are said to be planning to buy out the New York Mets baseball team. This is in any case what Variety says , which cites a source close to the file. The former sportsman and the singer would try to associate with the bank JPMorgan Chase to raise the funds necessary for this monumental investment.

The news fell when the Wilpon family, who currently own the team, had recently announced their intention to sell it to billionaire Steve Cohen for the modest sum of $ 2.6 billion. But the negotiations failed and the Mets are therefore a priori always on the market.
No comment
Neither Alex Rodriguez nor Jennifer Lopez wanted to comment on Variety's information , but neither did they deny it. For many observers, if the takeover could make sense (A-Rod is not the first player to embark on the adventure, since his former teammate Derek Jeter recently bought the Miami Marlins) from an entrepreneurial point of view , it is nonetheless surprising when you know the strong rivalries within the teams of Major League Baseball, the league which governs the sport in the United States.

However in New York, the city is divided between Mets supporters and Yankees supporters, the other legendary team… and Alex Rodriguez played at the New York Yankees during the last 12 seasons of his career. No better on the side of Jennifer Lopez, from the Bronx, the neighborhood of origin of the Yankees. Not sure that the baseball fans of the two teams appreciate this “unnatural” rapprochement…
