NBA world lit up with news that former baseball star Alex Rodriguez had hit a massive milestone, closing a $350 million deal tied to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Alex Rodriguez reaches NBA ownership milestone on June 27 with support from family
On June 27, former MLB star and businessman Alex Rodriguez made headlines after a major financial milestone tied to his NBA investment. The news came after a report by @MSports_all surfaced on X, sharing that Rodriguez had finalized a $350 million deal involving the Minnesota Timberwolves.
This move marks a major step in Rodriguez's long-term plan to gain majority control of the NBA franchise. But what caught even more attention was how his involved daughters, Natasha Rodriguez and Ella Rodriguez, were in the process. The father of two credited them for standing by him through the ups and downs of business life.
The deal is part of Rodriguez's efforts with his business partner, Marc Lore, to fully acquire the Minnesota Timberwolves and the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx. The final purchase was years in the making, and the $350 million figure marks the latest round in that plan.
How Natasha and Ella Rodriguez helped Alex Rodriguez reach NBA ownership dream
Alex Rodriguez has always said his daughters mean everything to him. After his big NBA deal, he shared that Natasha and Ella helped him stay calm and focused. “They keep me grounded,” he said during a small celebration.
While not involved in the business, both girls supported him emotionally and were by his side during some important moments, even attending team events with him before the announcement.
The full acquisition move had faced delays earlier this year due to financing issues. But this week, the final stage of the ownership transfer appears to be moving forward, with this $350 million round as a strong sign of commitment from Rodriguez and Lore.
The celebration, according to insiders, included a small private event with close family and friends, where Rodriguez made it clear that this achievement wasn’t just his alone.
While no formal press conference has been held yet, many expect an official statement to follow in early July as the NBA signs off on the updated ownership paperwork.
Rodriguez’s rise from baseball superstar to NBA team co-owner continues to make headlines, but this time, it’s the role of his daughters that is warming hearts across sports fans and business circles alike.
