Timberwolves Owner Alex Rodriguez Asserts MLB Loyalty and It?s Not the New York Yankees

Alex Rodriguez has turned things around for Minnesota’s professional basketball scene. The former New York Yankees player has established a winning culture in the Timberwolves and the Lynx, taking the teams to new heights. Now it seems like A-Rod has also taken to the state’s baseball club.

Although Rodriguez is a native of Miami, he has played for Seattle, Texas, and New York before. In his 22-season career, he is best known for his time in Pinstripes and lauding the Yankees organization. However, now that he’s retired, it seems like A-Rod is changing colors.

Alex Rodriguez Reps the Minnesota Twins

Given the amount of time the former shortstop spends in Minnesota with his NBA and WNBA teams, it was only a matter of time before he attended a Twins game. He did so yesterday with his two daughters, Natasha and Ella, posting a picture of the trio at Target Field.

“Let?s go @twins! Love this park. Love the minny fans. Thanks for hosting us twins family – first class organization all the way!” reads the caption. This leads many to wonder, is Rodriguez all for Minnesota now?

The first picture shows him posing with his daughters while the second slide is a video of him signing a ball for a fan. While the third slide is a tweet from a fan that says, “Alex Rodriguez just got a big applause at Target Field…Never thought that’d happen.”

This is because in 2015, the first time A-Rod hit a home run at the Twins’ ballpark, he hit not one but three long balls and helped the Yankees win. Now, after a failed Mets ownership bid, he has taken his talents to NBA.

A-Rod is Set to Become Majority Timberwolves Owner

In 2021, Rodriguez bought part ownership of the T-Wolves with his business partner Marc Lore. Since then, the NBA franchise has appeared in two successive playoffs, something that last happened in 2004. Owners don’t often get a lot of credit but Rodriguez and Lore are certainly doing their part.

In 2024, they will make their final payment to buy the team and officially become majority owners. Being a former athlete fresh off his active years, albeit in a different league, has given A-Rod an innate understanding of how to help players succeed.

Now T-Wolves fans can’t wait to see where this goes next.
