In 25 seasons in South Florida, the Marlins have had three owners, two names and two homes.
Soon, the Marlins may have their fourth ownership group.
Jeffrey Loria, who became the franchise’s third owner in 2002, is in negotiations with a group headed by former Florida governor Jeb Bush and former New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter to buy the team for a reported $1.3 billion.
Loria, the former owner of the Montreal Expos, took over the Marlins in a deal with Major League Baseball from John Henry — who in turn bought the Boston Red Sox.
