While the MLB world descends on Miami for All-Star Game festivities, a few big names are part of an ownership group ready to lock down a bid for the Marlins.

Former New York Yankees great Derek Jeter has been retired for a few years and now he’s ready for his next venture.

Jeter has put together an ownership group with 15 members to submit a bid to purchase the Miami Marlins from owner Jeffery Loria. The bid is rumored to be for $1.2 billion.

But part of that ownership group features former UNC and Chicago Bulls great Michael Jordan.
