After Nets owner Joe Tsai was named as one of many high-profile sports figures attached to Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez’s bid to purchase the Mets, he denied being involved in the process on Saturday.
“Sorry Twitter, it is not true,” Tsai said in a tweet. “I grew up as a Mets fan and I have a lot of respect for Alex and Jennifer. But I’m not involved in bidding for the Mets. Gotta focus on basketball.”
Rodriguez and Lopez have put together a star-studded group as they attempt to acquire the MLB franchise, with multiple NBA names attached to the group. Wizards guard Bradley Beal and Nuggets big man Mason Plumlee — who originally named Tsai as part of the group— are among those involved. Additionally, Pro Football Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher, former Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Joe Thomas, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and former Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray are part of the bid.
Whether or not Rodriguez and Lopez are successful in their Mets venture remains to be seen. However, it appears it will be without the help of Tsai, who assumed full ownership of the Nets and Barclays Center last August.
Wilpons keep spreading rumors to try to get Cohen to go even higher. Problem is Cohen is smart. The Wilpons aren’t as smart.
A-Rod is a multiple time cheater in baseball and JLo has had people fired she considers “peasants” for looking at her. If they get the team it won’t be much of an improvement.
A-Rod is a legend dude! J-Lo is great! Do you have a problem with latinos?
Well I guess if ARod owns the team he can have a meeting with the team and discuss the benefits of using steroids and how NOT to get caught… He’d be a great example for all players in the Mets organization… Hah! Hah!
