There are reports swirling that Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez might be baseball team owners. Per Variety, the pair have retained JPMorgan Chase to raise capital for a possible bid on the New York Mets. According to an anonymous source, "The superstar couple is working with managing director Eric Menell, the bank’s co-head of North American media investment banking,"
According to People, Rodriguez hinted at the idea of purchasing the team during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon back in March. "I will say this, if the opportunity [to buy the Mets] came up, I would certainly look at it," Rodriguez said. As of right now, reps for the couple have not responded to any media outlet's request for comment.
