Derek Jeter is everything Jeffrey Loria is not – and just what the Miami Marlins need

Oh, let it be Derek Jeter! Please? If there is a baseball god, let that mysterious deity somehow align all of the stars so that this star ends up owning the Miami Marlins.

I use the word “owning” loosely here, of course. Jeter is the public front of one of the groups of investors interested in buying the Marlins. A source tells me the eventual selling price is expected to settle closer to $1 billion than the $1.6B figure that has been bandied about, and that Jeter's personal investment would be as small as around $10 million.
