MLB legend Alex Rodriguez, in order to turn around the world of baseball, wanted to extend his reach to the Queens after his retirement from the sport. Therefore, in 2020, he wanted to own the New York Mets, with ex-fiancee Jennifer Lopez and billionaire Marc Lore. However, together, the three of them could not compete with Steve Cohen’s $2.4 billion bid. Hence, the deal slipped away from the hands of a-Rod and company.

But A-Rod was unwilling to stop wanting to invest his $350 million fortune into another budding venture. Therefore, he found one and was set to make a $650 million investment after his deal to buy the Mets failed.
