MLB Commissioner Says Marlins Bidders Are Close In Price Offers

NEW YORK (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins may be struggling on the field but that isn’t stopping potential buyers from ramping up efforts to purchase the MLB franchise.

The two groups bidding to buy the Marlins from Jeffrey Loria are relatively even in their price offers, according to Commissioner Rob Manfred.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush leads one group, which includes former New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter, who would head the team’s baseball operations.

The other group is led by businessman Tagg Romney, son of former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, and includes Hall of Famer Tom Glavine.
