$350 Million Worth Alex Rodriguez’s Company Faces $300 Million Hit After Investors Take a Turn

After saying goodbye to his playing career in the Bronx, Alex Rodriguez shifted his hard work from baseball to A-Rod Corp. However, recently, the former Yankee superstar has been hit by the changing mind of investors.

What happened?

Slam Corp., the special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) or a blank-check company formed by Alex Rodriguez’s A-Rod Corp and hedge fund Antara Capital LP, got significantly hit by investors opting to back out from the fizzling SPAC industry.

A-Rod faces a $300M hit

A-Rod’s company witnessed 61% of investors swapping their shares for cash. Correspondingly, Slam Corp. lost 61% of its 57.5 million shares, which investors cashed in. The investors' redemption requests will leave the company with just $224 million, a massive drop from the $575 million fortune it raised two years ago.

A-Rod and the Timberwolves

Back in 2021, Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore invested $250 million in the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves. Now, as the second round of payments approaches, A-Rod and Lore have been granted a delay to pay the additional $200 million despite a positive round of fund collections earlier this year.
