ALEX RODRIGUEZ BIO

Alex Rodriguez serves as a studio analyst for FOX Sports’ coverage of Major League Baseball’s tentpole events. Alongside Kevin Burkhardt, Derek Jeter and David Ortiz he’s also an integral part of FOX MLB’s Emmy Award-winning Postseason studio show.

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 14-time MLB All-Star and a 2009 World Series Champion with the New York Yankees) for more than 25 years, Alex 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), Alex 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 continues to invest 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 2025, after joining the ownership group in 2021, Rodriguez became the controlling owner of the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves and Minnesota Lynx where he serves as Co-Chairman alongside partner Marc Lore. In the same year, he 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. He recently wrapped his seventh year as a guest lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Business, where he teaches a class called Strategic Pivoting. 

Committed to creating opportunities for young people to succeed, Rodriguez serves on the Board of the Boys and Girls Club of America – where he is in the National Alumni Hall of Fame. Additionally, he serves on the Board 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.
