Dave Stewart, former general manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks, has joined Massachusetts businessman Tagg Romney’s ownership group bid for the Miami Marlins, a high-ranking baseball executive told USA TODAY Sports.
The executive spoke only on the condition of anonymity since Romney has not publicly announced the addition of Stewart to his group, but Major League Baseball officials have been informed that Stewart is among the new investors.
Romney’s group, which already included five-time 20-game winner Tom Glavine, is one of the two finalists to buy the Marlins along with the group led by former Florida Gov. Jeb Busch and former New York Yankees star Derek Jeter.
