According to multiple sources, a potential suitor to buy the Mets is none other than Alex Rodriguez.
Baseball and Wall Street insiders say that the controversial former Yankees superstar is “kicking the tires” on the idea of getting into an upcoming auction for the team.
This comes after a billionaire hedge fund manager walked away from a $2.6 billion deal for 80 percent of the team upon learning that the Wilpon family would not be surrendering control for the first five years of his ownership.
Sources say that the rumors of A-Rod’s interest have continued and intensified.
“He’s a businessman and a baseball man based in New York,” said one A-Rod ally. “Why wouldn’t he be looking at this?”
