It has been more than a year since Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez broke up with each other. But back then, when A-Rod and J.Lo were together, the two made quite a couple. Be it their name, fame, or even wealth, both were megastars in their respective fields.

Apart from being life partners (even for a while), Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez were all set to become business partners back in the day. Yes! As many baseball fans might be aware, Lopez and A-Rod wanted to buy the Major League Baseball team, New York Mets. But somehow their plan did not work.

Alex Rodriguez and ex-fiancee Jennifer Lopez’s bid to buy the New York Mets did not succeed 

Per People.com, Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez were more than excited about becoming business partners. Everything was going in their favor until business tycoon Steve Cohen burst into the scene. 

And after that, it all went downhill for the ex-couple, especially for Jennifer Lopez, who wanted to fulfill her father’s dream. While talking to People.com in 2020, J.Lo said she and A-Rod worked for almost six months to land the Mets’ deal. And if reports are true, A-Rod and J.Lo offered $2.3 billion to buy the Mets. However, it got rejected.

“Alex and I are so disappointed!! We worked so hard the past 6 months with the dream of becoming the first minority couple and the first woman owner to buy her father’s favorite Major League Baseball team with her own hard-earned money,” Lopez said.

Not to forget that Cohen’s total net is over $16 billion, far more than the combined net worth of A-Rod and J.Lo (approx $750 million). And as expected, Cohen bought the Mets for a whopping $2.4 billion in 2020.

Could the Mets have been a better team with A-Rod and J.Lo as their owners?

It is impossible to predict whether the New York Mets would have done better had Alex Rodriguez and J.Lo been the owner. But because A-Rod has played 22 years of baseball for a top MLB franchise, he would not have been a bad choice to own the Mets.

However, if looking at the current scenario, the Mets have been one of the best teams this year. And if things do not go south, the Steve Cohen-owned team might have their hands on silverware this season.
