Alex Rodriguez, Jennifer Lopez Not Giving Up Mets Ownership Bid amid Cohen Talks

Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez are refusing to give up their pursuit of the New York Mets despite New York financier Steve Cohen entering exclusive talks to complete a sale from the Wilpon family.

The New York Post's Joel Sherman reports Lopez is steadfast in seeing out her bid until a deal becomes final.

“It ain’t over until it is over,” Lopez said. “We are New Yorkers and we are not going to give up. We feel we have the best bid for the sport, the team and the city.”

Sherman notes the couple's bid includes plans for Lopez to become managing partner and a guarantee to win a World Series within 10 years or donate $100 million to New York charities.
