Marlins President Says Team Is In ‘Fourth Inning’ Of Sale Talks

MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — One thing that many Miami Marlins fans have been cheering for long before the new season began is that the team could be sold sometime in the near future.

Marlins President David Samson says talks with multiple parties interested in buying the team are in the “fourth inning,” leaving lots of uncertainty about the future of the franchise.

Hours before the Marlins’ home opener Tuesday, Samson said owner Jeffrey Loria might sell before the end of the season — or not at all.

“There’s not a guarantee that a transaction will happen,” Samson said.
