The J-Rod drama isn’t done quite yet!

In a rather shocking turn of events, Thorton McEnery of The New York Post is reporting that the power couple has re-entered the fray to succeed the Wilpons as the Mets’ majority owners. Last month, Mike Ozanian of Forbes claimed J-Rod ended their pursuit of the franchise, citing issues with potential investors.

Now, it looks like J-Rod have done better on the financial aspect of the team and are teaming up with senior bankers at JP Morgan Chase to raise the required capital. Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are also putting more of their own money in their potential purchase, with the Post hearing that they are investing “hundreds of millions of dollars of their own money” in a potential bid.

There’s plenty of optimism about J-Rod owning the team as Post also says that the Wilpons are willing to give up a portion of SNY in a potential deal. The inclusion of SNY was a sticking point in the Mets’ earlier drama with Steve Cohen, with Cohen reportedly backing out of a deal for that very reason. Cohen’s deal was worth a rumored 2.5 billion dollars, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s unlikely that a bid would approach that number. Instead, a source predicted to the Post that a deal will fall under the two billion dollar mark.

McEnery writes that J-Rod have been busy this quarantine period, coming up with ideas on how to refinance a bid for the team. Their last bid involved billionaire Wayne Rothbaum, but ultimately the couple weren’t able to find a middle ground regarding paying for the club.

The J-Rod duo have also looked into redeveloping the land around Citi Field and envision its future as one with a family-friendly atmosphere, where families can spend time before and after a Mets game. The couple is also looking into renovating the seating at Citi Field, where celebrities could watch the game from.

Ultimately, McEnery believes a bid is inevitable from the J-Rod camp. Jennifer Lopez, in particular, is aiming to be the majority owner, which would be historical in the sense that there has only been one Latina majority owner in baseball history. With the economy and the Wilpons’ finances, in shambles as a result of COVID-19, it’s plausible that a sale of the team could come along rather quickly.
