Miami-Dade is taking Jeffrey Loria and Derek Jeter to court over the former Marlins owner’s claim that the county is owed noting from a profit-sharing deal tied to his $1.2 billion sale of the baseball franchise.
Joe Martinez, a Miami-Dade commissioner, said a county lawyer told him of the plan to sue both Loria and the current Marlins ownership over the 2009 profit-sharing deal that gave the county and the city of Miami a share of any profits that might come from a sale of the team after both governments helped build the franchise a new stadium in Little Havana.
