Jose Canseco was right about steroids in baseball nearly 15 years ago. Time will tell about his new allegations against Alex Rodriguez. Canseco took swing after swing at A-Rod on Twitter late Sunday night, alleging that the 43-year-old has been cheating on Jennifer Lopez, with whom he announced his engagement Saturday. Canseco also challenged Rodriguez to a fight. “Watching World of Dance watching J.Lo text Alex Rodriguez little does she know that he is cheating on her with my ex-wife Jessica (Canseco) poor girl she has no idea who he really is,” Canseco said in a series of four tweets aimed at Rodriguez, who works for the Yankees as a special advisor to owner Hal Steinbrenner. Canseco admitted to using steroids throughout his 17-year career and exposed them as a plaguing the sport in his 2005 book, “"Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits & How Baseball Got Big.” Rodriguez twice admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs and was suspended all of the 2014 seasons for violating the league’s drug policy. Rodriguez since undergone a remarkable image overhaul since retiring in 2016, landing high-profile TV gigs such as a baseball analyst for ESPN and Fox. He’s been dating J.Lo for about two years. “I was there a few months back with her when he called her on her phone,” Canseco tweeted, referring to his ex-wife. “Alex Rodriguez stop being a piece of (crap) stop cheating on Jennifer Lopez,” Canseco said. “Alex Rodriguez I challenge you to a boxing match or an MMA match anytime you want.” Canseco hit 462 homers over his career. He played 37 games with the Yankees in 2000. Rodriguez won three American League MVP awards over his 22-year career. He played 12 seasons with the Yankees, helping them to a World Series win in 2009.

Two days later, another ex-ballplayer and tabloid mainstay is leveling some shocking charges at Rodriguez. Jose Canseco, the controversial former baseball player, sent a tweet Sunday night making the wild charge that A-Rod is cheating on his bride-to-be- with Canseco's own former wife, Jessica. "Watching World of Dance watching J.Lo text Alex Rodriguez," Canseco tweeted. "Little does she know that he is cheating on her with my ex-wife Jessica poor girl she has no idea who he really is." The 54-year-old Canseco, in subsequent postings, went on to say that "I was there a few months back with her when he called her on her phone," and to challenge Rodriguez to a boxing or MMA match. This is not, in fact, the first time Canseco has accused Rodriguez of getting together with Jessica. He made a similar charge back in 2008, stating in his book Vindicated, and at a subsequent book signing, per the New York Post, that Rodriguez and Jessica Canseco had had an affair. Rodriguez and his first wife, Cynthia, divorced that year. Canseco, one of the top sluggers in the game in the late 1980s and early 1990s, made headlines in 2005 when he wrote a book, Juiced, in which he admitted to using steroids throughout his career, while also accusing numerous baseball contemporaries of also using performance-enhancing drugs. This caused Canseco to become something of a pariah in the game. A-Rod announces that "she said yes" as J-LO shows off huge diamond sparkler. Check out the ring! https://t.co/zCGRdTkVql pic.twitter.com/p4Zfq1ED8A — New York Daily News (@NYDailyNews) March 10, 2019 A second book, Vindicated, followed three years later, in which Canseco named more names, including Rodriguez. His second wife Jessica Canseco, who was married to Jose from 1996 to 1999, went on to write a rebuttal book called Juicy: Confessions of a Former Baseball Wife, and starred in the reality show Hollywood Exes. Canseco and Rodriguez have also both been romantically linked to Madonna, although many years apart. The two players' careers overlapped for a few years, but they were never teammates. Rodriguez, who was something of a disgraced figure in baseball towards the end of his career due to his own bouts with performance-enhancing drugs (per The Inquisitr), has undergone a dramatic image rehabilitation in recent years. He's launched successful careers in business and sports broadcasting, and got together with Lopez in early 2017, leading up to their engagement this weekend.<doc-sep>Jose Canseco is back at it again, this time offering to tell Jennifer Lopez the “truth” about Alex Rodriguez, who he claims is cheating on her with Canseco’s ex-wife. It’s another week, so naturally, it is time for Jose Canseco to find his way into the news. Recently, he has offered to help Tim Tebow with his swing, claimed that if people pay to hang out with him that he will introduce them to Bigfoot and a “real” alien, and claimed to know the secrets of time travel. It is Jose Canseco after all, so insanity is part of the course. Now, with the news that Alex Rodriguez is engaged to Jennifer Lopez, Canseco has emerged from the drug induced haze that he has been hiding in. Now, he is offering to tell J-Lo the “truth about A-Rod,” and even provided his phone number for her to call him. @JLo if you want the truth about Alex Rodriguez call me 702-374-3735 — Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) March 11, 2019 So, now that we have all put Canseco’s number into our contact lists, it might be time to notify the former slugger that DMs don’t work like that. Of course, Canseco did not wait to hear from Rodriguez’ new fiancee, instead sharing his tale on Twitter. In a story that would be right at home in any given soap opera, Canseco claimed that Rodriguez is cheating on Lopez. Not only that, but the other woman? None other than Canseco’s ex-wife. Because why else would Canseco get involved with this situation? Watching World of Dance watching J.Lo text Alex Rodriguez little does she know that he is cheating on her with my ex-wife Jessica poor girl she has no idea who he really is — Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) March 11, 2019 Let’s face it – Canseco is only looking out for poor, innocent Jessica Lopez. All he wants it to open her eyes to the dastardly ways of her betrothed. In no possible way would this be a cry for attention, or a way to stay in the public eye. Even Canseco’s offer to fight A-Rod, either in a boxing or MMA match, is just his way of trying to defend J-Lo’s sensibilities. The odds of such a fight happening are fairly remote. After all, both sports have stringent PED testing, and we know both of their histories when it comes to that. Canseco even managed to become relevant once again after he blew the cover off of the PED scandal in revenge for his belief that he was blackballed from the game. Who knows? Maybe Canseco is actually right about this as well. Back when he was claiming that half the league was on PEDs, no one believed him until testing showed that drug use was actually a problem in baseball. But then again, this is also the same guy that claims aliens taught him the secret of time travel. Maybe that baseball hit Canseco off the dome harder than we realized. Want your voice heard? Join the Call To The Pen team! Write for us! Jose Canseco is trying to stay relevant. This time, he is claiming that Alex Rodriguez is cheating on Jennifer Lopez, with Canseco’s ex wife as the other woman.<doc-sep>
Jose Canseco weighed in on Alex Rodriguez’s engagement to Jennifer Lopez on Sunday, calling the former Yankee a “piece of s–t” for, Conseco alleges without any evidence, cheating on his new fiancée. Taking to Twitter, Canseco, 54, blasted Rodriguez, 43, in a series of tweets, claiming his ex-wife, Jessica Canseco, had caught the eye of Lopez’s future husband. “Watching World of Dance watching J.Lo text Alex Rodriguez little does she know that he is cheating on her with my ex-wife Jessica poor girl she has no idea who he really is,” Canseco began. see also Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are engaged Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have announced their engagement in... “I was there a few months back with her when he called her on her phone,” he continued. Rodriguez announced his engagement to Lopez, 49, on Saturday. “She said yes,” he shared on Instagram, in addition to a snap of Lopez’s stunning engagement ring. Canseco, who rants on Twitter about aliens teaching us time travel and has plans to search for Bigfoot, continued his war of words against Rodriguez, later challenging him to a boxing match. “I am willing to take a polygraph to prove that what I’m saying about Alex Rodriguez is 100% accurate,” said Canseco, who wrote a book in which he accused Rodriguez of PED use (before Rodriguez had admitted to it) and of hitting on Jessica, Jose’s then-wife. A pal of A-Rod’s told us of the left-field Jessica allegation: “They haven’t seen each other in years. It’s laughable, considering the source.” Meanwhile, Rodriguez and Lopez appear to be enjoying every moment of their engagement bliss.
