ESPN - Former New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter is part of a group led by ex-Florida Gov. Jeb Bush that has reached an agreement to purchase the Miami Marlins after submitting a bid of $1.3 billion, according to multiple media reports.
According to the Miami Herald and Bloomberg, Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria has reached an agreement to sell the Marlins to the Bush-Jeter group after their bid won the auction ahead of other potential buyers for exclusive negotiating rights.
There still is a long way to go in the process. Both news outlets, citing sources, said there is no contract as of yet and that the sale would still need approval from Major League Baseball.
"I have not commented on the process and plan to keep it that way, thank you," Marlins president David Samson told the Miami Herald.
Other groups reportedly involved in the bidding process to negotiate for the purchase of the Marlins included New York businessman Wayne Rothbaum and another by Massachusetts businessman Tagg Romney that included former Braves pitcher Tom Glavine.
