It goes without say that Miami Marlins fans have been anxious to get the team out of Jeffery Loria’s hands for years. The curmudgeonly miser has repeatedly hosed supporters of the Marlins franchise at every opportunity.
On Friday, the Miami Herald reported that the Derek Jeter led group to purchase the team. The news comes shortly after the Bush-Rothbaum group dropped out of the bidding. It appears Derek Jeter has won again.
But this isn’t the first time the team was reportedly sold. Fans would be wise to hold off on their excitement until everything is signed.
