Well, who knows, maybe the buzz surrounding the picture might just inspire Rodriguez to join the cast to make another season of the show.

It’s not hard to imagine Alex Rodriguez fitting right in with the Bluth family on the show. After all, the show is known for its quirky and lovable characters. From the struggling magician Gob to self-absorbed socialite Lindsay, the family certainly is a train wreck of dysfunctional personalities.

But where would A-Rod fit into this crazy crew? Perhaps he could bring his own brand of drama and excitement to the show. With his well-documented relationships and controversies, there’s no doubt a baseball sensation could add a whole new layer of complexity to the Bluth family’s dynamics. The enduring popularity of the show with A-Rod in the mix will certainly take the sitcom to new heights if it was ever to make a revival!
