Now that's a home base! A-Rod puts his Miami mega-mansion on the market for $38MILLION

New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez may be on the disabled list, but that does not mean he can’t wow the crowds, this time by putting his enormous Miami mansion on the market for a jaw-dropping $38million.

The 37-year-old third baseman, known to all as A-Rod, bought the palatial estate in 2010 while it was still under construction for a reported $24million.

Now, he is looking to unload the 20,000-square-foot property for a substantial profit.

The waterfront property features nine bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a home theater, a heated pool, steam room, gym, rooftop deck, an elevator and a 3,000 square-foot sports room complete with a batting cage, of course, according to the New York Daily News .

The two-story home, which the third baseman bought after his divorce from Cynthia Curtis, also comes with 12-foot glass windows that open onto the bay.

According to South Florida real estate brokers, while the overall market is unstable, deep-pocketed buyers with an eye for high-end properties will likely jump on the opportunity to snap up the trendy mega-mansion.

‘The Russians and Brazilians are buying like crazy. It’s like everyone is racing to buy a trophy house,’ Jorge Alonso, an associate broker at Douglas Elliman Florida, told the New York Daily News.

At the time when Rodriguez purchased the home, he was dating actress Cameron Diaz, and the celebrity couple were photographed inspecting construction on the property. However, the two called it quits before the project was complete.



The interior of the luxurious bachelor pad was decked with shiny coral-colored rock, white oak floors and other high-end touches worthy of any magnate, pop singer or movie studio executive.
