Thornton McEnery and Josh Kosman of the New York Post are reporting that Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez are being pushed out of their bid to purchase the New York Mets. The power couple has maintained that they don’t want to be like Derek Jeter. They want to be the principal owners as well as the controlling owners, but that doesn’t seem likely anymore.
With J-Rod’s ownership group lacking financial backing, the couple can’t maintain its lead role, so partners Mike Repole and Vincent Viola are pushing to take over as the leaders of the bid.
