The Miami Marlins won their game on Friday, hours after a group including Derek Jeter signed an agreement to buy the team. They won again the next night, then swept their weekend series, then won again on Monday
Classic Jeter, right? Simply by association, it seems, he could will his prospective new team to victory. All he does is win, win, win, no matter what.
That seems to be the sports world’s default stance on the prospect of Jeter heading the baseball operations of the Marlins, as proposed in the estimated $1.2 billion sale of the team to a group led by the venture capitalist Bruce Sherman.
