Long before that billionaire Steve Cohen bought at the New York Mets, former Yankees Alex Rodriguez, Had big plans to acquire the Queens team together with her fiancée Jennifer Lopez and a group of investors. However, the Wilpon family did not want to sell the equipment to A-Rod and J-Ho for whatever reason, despite having reached the price they wanted for the franchise, which prevented them from being the first latin masters in the history of an MLB team.
There is no doubt that Alex had a lot of plans for the Metropolitans and as he mentioned in The Boston Globe that he would have handled the Mets as his role model, the same “Chief” of the New York Yankees, George Steinbrenner.
It’s hard to say anyone can be like George. He was unique. It’s a legend for a reason and it certainly would have been my role model. He always thought first ‘What’s best for the Yankees fanatic?’ and I think that would have been my way of working.
“Chief” Steinbrenner bought from the Yankees in 1973 and revitalized the franchise by winning 7 World Series until his death in 2010.
