slow news evening.
Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez are reportedly working toward becoming owners of the New York Mets.
The couple have retained JPMorgan Chase to raise funds for a possible bid on the beloved baseball team, Variety and the New York Post reported.
Rodriguez, 44, and Lopez, 50, are reportedly working with the JPMorganās co-head of North American media investment banking Eric Menell, Variety reported.
Reps for the couple did not immediately respond to PEOPLEās request for comment.
The potential purchase has been in the works for some time as the Post previously reported that Rodriguez was toying with the idea back in February.
The Mets are currently owned by real estate developer Fred Wilpon.
In December, the Wilpon family announced plans to sell 80 percent of the team to hedge fund manager and philanthropist Steve Cohen, Variety reported.
However, Cohen reportedly ended negotiations with the Wilpons on the purchase in February, the Post reported. The bid was $2.6 billion to buy the team.
