Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez - PictureLux / Starface

Jennifer Lopez sees herself buying the New York Mets baseball team. The interpreter of Jenny from the Block and her fiancé, Alex Rodriguez - former player of the rival Yankees team - have been trying for several months to become the new owners. With their investment group, they even made an initial offer amounting to $ 1.7 billion to the Wilpon family who currently own it.

If the actress from Queens did not mention the progress of the negotiations at the microphone of the podcast The Corp, she explained how, for her, becoming the owner of the team would be historic.

A first for a woman and for a latina

“I think that in all sectors, and especially institutions like Major League Baseball which remains so American today, it is important for diversity and it is important that women have positions of power that they deserve and that they can contribute in the same way and as well as any man on the planet. So of course that tempts me, ”said Jennifer Lopez.

The first offer made by the star couple was countered by that of investment funds specialist Steve Cohen, which would have raised the stakes to 2.6 billion dollars. According to TMZ, the Wilpon family would be more inclined to sell their baseball team to Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez, but on one condition: to get closer to the offer of the “Wall Street titan”.
