The Clues and Speculation Surrounding Alex Cooper’s Mystery Man
Cooper’s story goes back to her sophomore year at Boston University. According to her account, the relationship started with a passionate “sleepover” but eventually fizzled out, reportedly ending after he was traded in 2015. While Cooper has remained tight-lipped about his identity, she’s offered a few tantalizing details, fueling rampant speculation online.
One key clue is the 2015 trade. This detail significantly narrows down the pool of potential candidates from the 2013 Red Sox roster. Another hint lies in Cooper’s description of the relationship as a whirlwind romance, suggesting a player known for his outgoing personality.
The Internet’s Leading Suspect: Mike Napoli
Internet sleuths have been hard at work, and one name consistently emerges: Mike Napoli. Napoli was a key player on the 2013 World Series team, known for his powerful hitting and iconic beard. He was traded in 2015, aligning with Cooper’s timeline.
