Alex Rodriguez arrives in New York week before SALT iConnections keynote

Alex Rodriguez flew from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport to Teterboro Airport on Monday, May 11, 2026, aboard his Gulfstream IV SP, N313AR. The 2-hour-9-minute journey at 41,000 feet covered the heartland to the Northeast, landing just after 3 p.m. Eastern time. For a Miami-based executive with stakes in professional sports, such hops are routine, but this one arrives amid playoff intensity and upcoming business commitments.

Rodriguez touches down in the New York area the same week he is set to keynote at SALT iConnections New York, a premier gathering on disruptive innovation in finance and economics, running May 17-19 in Manhattan, according to the conference site. As CEO of A-Rod Corp, an investment firm backing startups, Rodriguez often shares insights on resilience and entrepreneurship at such events—much like his recent appearance at Consensus in Miami earlier this month. The early arrival suggests preparations or side meetings in a city where he spent key years with the Yankees.

This trip follows a pattern of shuttling between his Timberwolves duties in Minnesota and East Coast engagements. Rodriguez, a co-owner with Marc Lore, was likely in Minneapolis for Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Spurs on May 10, per NBA schedules. It echoes his May 5 flight from the New York area to Miami, blending sports ownership with his broadening business portfolio in a wry nod to life after the diamond.
