NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball hopes to hold a special meeting before November to vote on approving the sale of the Miami Marlins to a group headed by venture capitalist Bruce Sherman that includes former New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter.
The next scheduled owners’ meeting is Nov. 15-16 at Orlando, Florida.
“I don’t think it will go as long as November,” baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said Thursday before a town hall meeting with fans at Yankee Stadium. “I don’t have a date yet. I’m going to try to do it at some point between now and the November owners’ meeting.
