JUPITER, Fla. — Multiple groups are interested in purchasing the Miami Marlins, according to team president David Samson, who confirmed owner Jeffrey Loria is being considered for nomination as U.S. ambassador to France.

"He is in the process right now," Samson said before the club's first full-squad workout on Friday. "It's a long, complicated process. He certainly feels honored to even be in that process, as anyone, I think, would."

That process, though, apparently has halted talks of a potential sale — at least temporarily.
