Derek Jeter, still baseball’s most recognizable face, and former Florida governor Jeb Bush have reportedly won the bidding to purchase the Miami Marlins.
Bloomberg reported that Jeter, 42, and Bush – who made a failed bid for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination – were among the winning group to purchase the Marlins from longtime owner Jeffrey Loria. Jeter and Bush recently consolidated their efforts to buy the club, with their top competition expected to be Wayne Rothbaum, manager of Quogue Capital.
The Miami Herald reported that the purchase price for the club will be $1.
