MIAMI (CBSMiami) – While MLB All-Stars were launching bombs into the stands, an explosive report surfaced that the Marlins had been sold.
According to Forbes, Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria and Miami billionaire Jorge Mas agreed on a deal for Mas to buy the team for $1.17 billion.
But a report from Miami Herald reporter Barry Jackson says nothing is set in stone.
In Jackson’s story, Marlins President David Samson is quoted as saying “there’s no agreement reached with anyone.”
Earlier in the day, during a dedication ceremony for a new ballpark at Jose Marti Park in Little Havana, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said there were still three bidders involved.
