If the Marlins have a deal in place to sell the franchise, they’re not saying.
“Time will always tell what happens,” team president David Samson said Saturday.
Samson would neither confirm nor deny reports that the Marlins have a “handshake agreement” to sell the club for $1.6 billion to a group led by Joshua Kushner, a New York City venture capitalist.
Forbes has reported that the Marlins have a preliminary deal in place for team owner Jeffrey Loria to sell Miami’s big-league franchise, while the New York Times wrote that Kushner was the prospective buyer.
Kushner is the brother of Jared Kushner, who is married to Ivanka Trump and is a special adviser to President Donald Trump.
