\n Despite a report Joe Tsai is part of Alex Rodriguez\u2019s bid to buy the Mets, the Nets and Liberty owner said he is not in the mix.<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry Twitter<\/a>, it is not true,\u201d Tsai tweeted Saturday of the rumor. \u201cI grew up as a Mets fan and I have a lot of respect for Alex and Jennifer. But I\u2019m not involved in bidding for the Mets. Gotta focus on basketball.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodriguez \u2014 the former Yankees great and childhood Mets fan \u2014 and fianc\u00e9e Jennifer Lopez have put together a star-studded bid for the Amazin\u2019s that includes a host of high-profile sports figures including Super Bowl champion tight end Travis Kelce and former NFL running back DeMarco Murray, among others. Ironically, it\u2019s the former Brooklyn Net Mason Plumlee, also involved in A-Rod\u2019s bid, who put Tsai\u2019s name out as a member of the group.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpoiler alert: we\u2019ve now got another billionaire sports owner in the mix as a partner \u2014 Joe Tsai \u2014 who brings our collective net worth to the top of the bid list,\u201d Plumlee recently wrote on his personal website.<\/p>\n

Tsai\u2019s net worth is indeed impressive, and growing even in 2020 when others have hemorrhaged money.<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old is worth $13.2 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, up $183 million in the latest daily update and $1.07 billion year-to-date.<\/p>\n

And last week it was reported the Alibaba executive vice chairman had reduced his stake in the company he co-founded from 2.2 percent to 1.6 percent.<\/p>\n

The shares \u2014 offloaded amid an Alibaba price surge the past several months \u2014 were worth a cool $3.3 billion as of Friday.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear how much if any of that influx of cash was used to close out his takeover of the Nets and Barclays Center from Mikhail Prokhorov, both moves first reported by The Post.<\/p>\n

Either way, Tsai won\u2019t be using any of it to buy into the Mets, which would be the third local team added to his portfolio.<\/p>\n

A potential complication could have arisen should Tsai have joined A-Rod\u2019s bid, as the Nets play on YES Network and the Mets play on the rival SNY.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nets have a relationship with YES Network [Yankees] and that relationship is [their] priority,\u201d a source said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
