Former Yankee Alex Rodriguez and native New Yorker Marc Lore are reportedly nearing a deal to buy the Minnesota Timberwolves.

ESPN is reporting A-Rod and the Staten Island born Lore would buy the team for around $1.5 billion.

The two would not take control until 2023.

Both put out a joint statement saying they're excited.

A-Rod was looking to buy the Mets before it was sold to Steve Cohen.

Lore was the president and CEO of Walmart U.S. Commerce before stepping down this year.

Prior to that, he co-founded Jet.com before that was bought by Walmart.
