MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The ongoing sale of the Miami Marlins may finally be close to completion.
Major League Baseball team owners unanimously approved the sale of the Marlins, the league announced on Wednesday.
The vote was held on a conference call.
It’s worth noting that the approval is contingent upon closing of the sale transaction with current owner Jeffrey Loria, which is expected in the coming days.
The new ownership group is led by former MLB superstar Derek Jeter and businessman Bruce Sherman.
“I wish the best to Jeffrey Loria and David Samson,” said Commissioner Rob Manfred in a statement.
