And that might make some baseball players livid.

Rodriguez, who recently flirted with buying the Mets, implored players on Friday to cave into the owners’ demands and accept a 50 percent split of the revenue MLB earns in the currently paused 2020 season. It is an issue at the heart of the owners’ proposal to begin an 82-game regular season in July.

“Players want to play. Fans want to watch,” Rodriguez said in a video posted to Twitter. “And at the end of the day, if you don’t play today, you don’t win tomorrow, because hopefully, we don’t have another situation like this. This is like beyond anything we’ve ever seen before. I just urge the players and owners to think collectively. If there’s $100 in the pie, like the NBA, players take $50, owners take $50. And we give it to the fans. We thank the fans of baseball.”

Players are wary a revenue share would likely lead to a salary cap, which the union has long fought against. The union is also ticked off because in its view the MLB is reneging on a March agreement that said payers would receive a prorated portion of their 2020 salaries for games played. The owners argue that agreement was subject to change if games were played without fans, a strong possibility because of the coronavirus.

Rodriguez, 44, was MLB’s highest-paid player. In 20 seasons, he made $455 million, a number he likely would not have reached if there was a revenue share like this in place.

“It is the people’s comfort food and people are starving,” Rodriguez said of baseball. “And I just don’t want to see this great game — people fighting, billionaires fighting with millionaires. This has nothing to do with the past. This has nothing to do with the (1994, revenue sharing-induced) strike. This is actually when the owners and players are aligned and we want the same thing. We want to save baseball. We want to play baseball.”

Rodriguez, who leads the A-Rod corp investment firm and is a baseball commentator, may want to be on the owners’ good side just in case he finds himself in a position to purchase an MLB team, which would require owner approval.

He and fiancée Jennifer Lopez struck out on a bid to buy the Mets, ending his quest alongside earlier this month, as The Post previously reported. Finding deep-pocketed investors was the biggest roadblock for the power couple with a a combined net worth of around $700 million (the Mets are worth nearly $3 billion, according to the Wilpons’ valuation).

Rodriguez also wasn’t the only former player, or Yankee for that matter, to side with the owners on this contentious issue.

Mark Teixeira, who made more than $200 million across his 13-year career, suggested the players accept the owners’ proposal, which Dodgers pitcher Alex Wood called, “just so stupid.”

The players, who have also voiced their health concerns, would receive four percent of their 2020 salaries in exchange for service time if the season were canceled.
