Last year I repeatedly told you the former A+ list PED (Performance-enhancing drugs) using athlete who loves strippers didn’t have enough money to buy a baseball team even with the help of the A list everything in her mind.

Despite months of saying the deal was just around the corner, you knew the truth and he bailed when his finances were questioned.

A couple of months ago I told you that even though he was a tiny part of a new deal to buy a team in a different sport, he still didn’t have the money to put up his share.

And now?

He is about to pull out of it.

A-Rod’s deal to buy the Minnesota Timberwolves is about to get tested

Last month, Alex Rodriguez struck a deal to buy the Minnesota Timberwolves. Now comes the tricky part.

The former Yankees slugger’s $1.5 billion agreement to buy the NBA franchise — signed with his business partner, the e-commerce tycoon Marc Lore — could get a bumpy ride this week as one of team’s minority owners has sued to delay the closing of the deal.

A court-ordered suspension at a hearing slated for Monday — seen by some insiders as likely — wouldn’t necessarily kill A-Rod’s bid to finally become a professional sports team owner. The deal is coming to a head less than a year after he lost a bid to buy the New York Mets to hedge-fund billionaire Steve Cohen.

Nevertheless, sources say any delay would only add uncertainty to talks that already are riddled with risks.

Among the question marks is A-Rod himself, who was spotted in Miami late last month “pow-wowing” with Lore and some Timberwolves execs at a Coral Gables hotspot, according to Page Six. A source insisted the ex-MLB star — who at the time was weathering headlines about his ex Jennifer Lopez’s reunion with former flame Ben Affleck — was focused on “his kids, baseball, and business.” – Source
