Love him or hate him, you got to admit — Hov has got A LOT of power. I feel like if anyone can help A-Rod, it just might be Jay Z. There’s rumors that Alex Rodriguez could face a heavy suspension or even a life time ban and that decision could come at any time. Well A-Rod did the right thing — he got Beyonce’s lawyer AND Hov’s publicist working for him! I can’t wait to see how this works out.

Via NYPost:
As the circus surrounding the ailing $275 million third baseman’s return to the lineup and a looming Major League Baseball suspension play out, associates of the entertainment mogul-turned-sports agent have been helping Rodriguez out behind the scenes.
Last week, Jordan Siev, a lawyer for Jay-Z’s superstar wife, Beyonce, represented A-Rod in a telephone conference with Yankee brass last Thursday. On the call, Bombers general manager Brian Cashman, president Randy Levine and trainer Tim Lentych discussed with Siev the time frame for the injured Rodriguez’s return to the team.
The call took place the day after Rodriguez dispatched a tainted New Jersey doctor on a media tour to say Rodriguez was healthy and ready to return to the field.
Rodriguez told WFAN he brought Siev on to “make sure everything is documented.”
Rodriguez is also using the flack Ron Berkowitz — whose public relations firm represents Jay-Z’s new Roc Nation Sports enterprise – as a spokesperson.
