Derek Jeter came out on the losing end when the Marlins knocked off the shortstop’s New York Yankees in the 2003 World Series. Jeter’s next goal could be helping the Marlins return to the postseason for the first time in 14 years.
Jeter and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush are among a group of investors who have reached agreement to buy the Marlins from Jeffrey Loria for $1.3 billion.
That Jeter wants to become involved in team ownership comes as no surprise to Marlins players who were once his teammates in New York and Miami manager Don Mattingly, his former coach with the Yankees.
