About Alex Rodriguez

Alex Rodriguez

FOX MLB Studio Analyst One of the most prolific offensive players in the history of the league, Alex Rodriguez serves as a studio analyst for FOX Sports’ coverage of the MLB’s tentpole events. Alongside Kevin Burkhardt, David Ortiz and Derek Jeter, he’s also an integral part of FOX MLB’s Postseason Studio Show. With Rodriguez as an analyst, FOX Sports’ MLB studio show won back-to-back Emmy Awards for Outstanding Studio Show – Limited Run during the network’s coverage of the 2016 & 2017 Postseason. Rodriguez is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of A-Rod Corp, an investment firm that backs world-class startups and partners with leading global companies across real estate, sports, and entertainment. While best known as one of the world’s greatest athletes (a 14x MLB All-Star and a 2009 World Series Champion with the New York Yankees), for more than 25 years, he leads a team of experts building high-growth businesses and enhancing the value of more than 40 companies in the A-Rod Corp portfolio. Rodriguez founded A-Rod Corp in 1995, purchasing a duplex apartment on the theory that investing his MLB earnings wisely would protect him from the kinds of financial struggles that afflict too many professional athletes. While he racked up extraordinary stats on the field (696 home runs and more grand slams than any other MLB player in history), Rodriguez simultaneously assembled an impressive team at A-Rod Corp, bought apartment units across the southeastern U.S., and built a fully integrated real estate and development company. Following his success in real estate, Rodriguez has invested in a variety of sectors where he has expertise. He looks for long-term opportunities to provide financial capital, work alongside founders and leadership, and amplify the growth of each company. In addition to leading A-Rod Corp, he is CEO of Slam Corp, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). In 2021, Rodriguez joined the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves and Minnesota Lynx ownership group. In addition to his ownership role, he serves as a strategic advisor to the Professional Fighters League (PFL) and is an investor in Blue Crow Sports. In the same year, Alex formed A-Rod Media, a strategic pillar within the organization to house all media activity. A-Rod Media offers scalable, multimedia capabilities, including original content creation, compelling narrative storytelling, and audience engagement across all marketing platforms. Rodriguez has been a judge and investor on ABC’s Shark Tank, mentored financially distressed ex-athletes on CNBC’s Back in the Game, and co-hosts the video series The Deal with Bloomberg Originals’ chief correspondent Jason Kelly, interviewing CEOs, entrepreneurs, and sports legends. Committed to creating opportunities for young people to succeed, he serves on the Board of the Boys and Girls Club of America and is in the National Alumni Hall of Fame, and the Boards of Trustees of the University of Miami. His gifts to the University of Miami and Florida International University have provided scholarships to dozens of students. Rodriguez resides in Miami with his daughters, Natasha and Ella.
