Derek Jeter has extra financial incentive to make Marlins profitable

Third in a five-part series on the new Marlins owners and their plans.

Marlins co-owner Derek Jeter eventually will make back his modest financial investment in the team merely through the salary he is being paid as the team’s chief executive officer.

But he could be paid substantially more than that if the team makes a profit.

According to an August version of Project Wolverine - a document pitching potential investors on joining the Marlins ownership group and shared with the Miami Herald by sources - Jeter will make an annual bonus based on the Marlins being profitable.
