You can bet on this one. If there’s one MLB feud that refuses to die, it’s the feud between Alex Rodriguez and his longtime rival, Jose Canseco. Canseco, who also happens to be a former Oakland Athletics star, doesn’t miss out on any chance to troll Rodriguez. And this Father’s Day was no different.
Just last month, Canseco took to X and casually trolled Rodriguez, writing, “Happy Mother’s Day to everyone except you know who whose first name is a last name that rhymes with fraud.” Apparently, he rhymed fraud with A-Rod. Well!
For the record, it’s just one of Canseco’s many hilarious jabs at Rodriguez. This ongoing cold war has a lot more to it than just cheeky holiday trolling. Back in 2008, Canseco held an accusation against Rodriguez for using steroids. Adding more to their past, he even accused him of hitting on his then-wife Jessica.
However, Rodriguez never clapped back on Canseco’s hilarious jabs or serious allegations. But yes, he did admit to steroid use later. Now, Canseco’s latest shot at Rodriguez to keep the petty feud alive came on Father’s Day. Again, he openly trolled him on social media, noting, “Happy Father’s Day to everyone, even A-Rod—psyche, just kidding everyone but A-Rod.”

It has actually become a light-hearted tradition for Canseco. Even back in 2020 Easter, he noted on social media, “Happy Easter to everyone except Alex Rodriguez.”
You wouldn’t want to miss what unfolded right before this Easter snub. As surprising as it’s going to sound, Canseco pulled Jennifer Lopez into his feud with Rodriguez. When Lopez and Rodriguez announced their engagement in March 2019, Canseco claimed that A-Rod had been cheating on her with his ex-wife Jessica.
“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.” Yes, he did really post that on X. But hey, did that accusation hold any weight at all?
Did Alex Rodriguez and Jessica really have an affair?
Back in 2019, After Canseco went public to accuse Rodriguez of cheating on his then-wife, Jessica herself took it to X to clear her stance. She strongly denied all the cheating allegations, stating “Those false accusations Jose is making are not true!” She further revealed that she had known Rodriguez for many years and only had a friendly connection with him.
She then didn’t hold back from matching Canseco’s jabs, openly stating on social media that Jose can continue “playing with his alien friends.” Meanwhile, Rodriguez—the main character —chose calmness over the drama. He stayed silent but Jennifer Lopez didn’t.
In an interview to the Breakfast Club in April 2019, she stood firm, stating, “I know what the truth is. I know who A-Rod is.” She emphasized that these allegations didn’t matter to her because she and Rodriguez were in a happy relationship.
Lopez further expressed confidence that Rodriguez would never do anything to hurt her. Well, in all honesty, A-Rod’s Instagram posts in those days backed it up. Time and again, he used to post loving messages for Jennifer.
All this while though, Canseco kept this feud alive—all solo, of course, as Rodriguez remained silent.
