Jennifer Lopez has professed excitement over the 'amazing' opportunity she has got to potentially make history as a replacement owner of the NY Mets team.
The Love Don't Cost a Thing hitmaker and
her fiance retired NY Yankees ace Alex Rodriguez, are a part of an investment
group vying to require over the main League Baseball franchise from its current
owners, the Wilpon family.
J.Lo has no updates to supply fans on the
continued negotiations, but admitted the thought of becoming the primary woman
- and a Latina at that - during a high-powered role at the Mets would be an
enormous move, not only for herself, except for MLB bosses, too, as there are
currently, no females listed as principal team owners.
Appearing on Barstool Sports' The Corp
podcast, the singer and actress said: "Listen, during this day and age,
that might be something that might be so amazing."
She continued: "I think in every
field, especially in institutions like big-league Baseball that are so American
during this moment in time, it's important for diversity and it's important for
ladies to possess positions of power that they've earned and deserve and may
contribute during a way that's even as good as any man on the earth ."
J.Lo and A-Rod, who abandoned a previous
effort with different investors in May, are presently working with current and
retired National league stars like Travis Kelce, Brian Urlacher, Joe Thomas,
and DeMarco Murray, and basketball players including Bradley Beal and Mason
Plumlee.
They have made an initial $1.7 billion
(£1.3 billion) bid for the Mets, but face stiff competition from hedge fund
billionaire Steve Cohen, who has reportedly stepped up his earlier $2 billion
(£1.5 billion) offer to $2.6 billion (£2 billion) in an effort to secure the
acquisition.
