Who will be the first to bring a title to Miami: Derek Jeter and his Marlins or David Beckham and his expansion Major League Soccer franchise?
The question is one for debate since the Marlins are rebuilding and the city’s new soccer team doesn’t begin playing until 2020.
But Jeter, the Marlins’ new CEO, doesn’t sound like he’s willing to risk a bet on the answer.
Speaking Wednesday to a Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce gathering, Jeter was asked whether he would be willing to make a gentleman’s wager with Beckham on which would be the first to raise a championship trophy.
