George W. Bush owned the Texas Rangers before he ever became U.S. president. Now his brother, Jeb, could be stepping up to the plate to buy his own Major League team — the Marlins.
According to a report by the Sports Business Journal, Jeb Bush is “in the mix” to buy the Marlins.
Marlins officials would neither confirm nor deny the report.
“I have no comment,” said Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria, who is in Washington to watch his team.
The former Florida governor expressed interest in ownership of the Marlins in 2013. But that was before team officials announced the franchise was for sale.
