The Miami Marlins need a financial turnaround, and CNBC television star Marcus Lemonis says he’s ready to spend big to help provide one.
Lemonis said he was recruited by former Florida governor Jeb Bush to join the ownership group that’s now made up of former rivals in the Marlins hunt. Bush united with Tagg Romney, son of another former GOP presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, and New York-based investor Wayne Rothbaum, to pursue the baseball franchise. Bush, Romney and Rothbaum were previously competing against each other for the Marlins, but now are part of a single group trying to buy the team.
