New Marlins Owner Derek Jeter: “I’ve Been Focused On Miami For Years”
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A new era of Miami Marlins baseball began on Tuesday.
Bruce Sherman and Derek Jeter sat behind a microphone at Marlins Park on Tuesday, introducing themselves to Major League Baseball as the newest members of a very exclusive club.
“It’s one of the most exciting days of my life,” Sherman said to the collection of media members.
The ownership group led by Sherman and Jeter completed its purchase of the Marlins on Monday, closing the sale that had been in the works for most of 2017.
MLB owners unanimously approved the sale last week.
“I always wanted to be a baseball owner,” Jeter said. “I’ve had my mind set on this for years and I’ve been focused on Miami for years.”
