MIAMI (CBSMiami) — Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is no longer interested in buying the Miami Marlins and has ended his participation in sales talks, a source familiar with the negotiations told CBS4 News.
“Jeb is out,” said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “Jeter is still in it.”
Bush led a group that included former Yankees captain Derek Jeter, who may still explore a bid with other investors.
The decision by Bush to pull out of the deal came following a dispute between Bush and Jeter regarding who would be in charge of the team.
