Mets Rumors: Alex Rodriguez, Jennifer Lopez Working on 2nd Bid to Buy Team

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are working on a second bid to buy the New York Mets from the Wilpon family, per Thornton McEnery of the New York Post:

"Multiple sources close to the situation tell The Post that Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez are now working closely with very senior bankers at JPMorgan Chase on a new bid to buy the Mets after their initial approach failed to come together earlier this month.

"According to insiders, the baseball legend and pop-star actress are putting in 'hundreds of millions' of their own money to finally pry the Amazins’ free from the Wilpon family, who have become more eager than ever to unload the franchise thanks to COVID-19 making their precarious financial condition even more dire.
