MIAMI (CBSMiami) – David Samson has been President of the Miami Marlins for the past 15 years.
The controversial, colorful former stepson of the soon to be former owner of the Marlins will be out of job by Monday.
Samson was told that he will be let go when the new ownership group led by Derek Jeter and Bruce Sherman take over operations of the team.
MLB owners unanimously approved the Marlins’ sale on Wednesday, with closing of the deal expected to come on Monday.
Samson confirmed that his last day with the team would be Sunday during an emotional news conference on Thursday at Marlins Park.
