The Marlins have a “handshake agreement” to sell the team, and one potential buyer could be the father-in-law of Ivanka Trump, according to reports.
While the possible sale of the franchise is in the preliminary stages, one source told the Herald that it’s all but certain that Jeffrey Loria will end up getting rid of the team he has owned since 2002.
“He’s going to sell it, no doubt about it,” said one Marlins official, who spoke only under the condition he not be identified.
Sources said Loria has told associates that, before selling the franchise, he would prefer to maintain ownership of the team through the All-Star Game, which will be held in July at Marlins Park.
