A six-pack of Marlins notes on a Saturday:
• The Marlins are negotiating purchase agreements with groups led by both Jeb Bush and Tagg Romney, fully intending to strike a deal with one of those two groups in the coming weeks, an MLB source briefed on the situation said Saturday.
The Bush/Derek Jeter group is further along in completing a purchase agreement with the Marlins than the Romney group and Bush/Jeter remain a slight favorite, the source said. But the Romney group, which features former major-league pitchers Tom Glavine, Dave Stewart and others, remains in contention.
Both Bush and Romney have assured the Marlins and MLB that they have enough investors, and enough money from those investors, to meet the $1.
