BRONX, N.Y. — Former New York Mets general manager Steve Phillips once quipped a clubhouse with Alex Rodriguez would be a “24-plus-one-man roster.” This was before A-Rod, a lifelong Mets fan, was slated to sign in Queens after 2000 as the piece to put the National League champions over the top. Yet, A-Rod would sign a record-breaking deal with the Texas Rangers and another with the New York Yankees and the rest, as they say, is history.
Yet, according to a report in the New York Post, a “24-plus-one-man” could come to fruition in the owner’s box in Flushing.
After Steve Cohen balked at buying the club, the latest suitor could be A-Rod.
