Spurned in his attempts to buy the Miami Marlins with his own group of investors, Miami businessman Jorge Mas is now interested in joining Bruce Sherman and Derek Jeter, who signed a written agreement to buy the team for $1.2 billion on Friday, a source in regular contact with Mas said Saturday.
Bloomberg reported overnight on Friday that Mas is in talks with the Sherman/Jeter group to replace Sherman as the “control person.” But there was no immediate indication if that is something Sherman or Jeter would have great interest in.
The source said Mas and the Sherman/Jeter group have talked but it was too early to tell if anything would happen.
