MIAMI (CBSMiami) — Jeb Bush is reportedly back in the race to buy the Miami Marlins.
Bush is joining with Tagg Romney and Wayne Rothbaum on a bid of roughly $1.1 billion for the franchise, Bloomberg Politics said Friday.
Bush was previously in talks with Yankee legend Derek Jeter on a $1.3 billion bid but reports suggested the pair couldn’t come up with the money. Last month, a source told CBS News that the two had an amicable split over who would actually be in charge.
Romney, the co-founder of Solamere Capital and son of politician Mitt Romney, and Rothbaum, founder of Quogue Capital, will put up the bulk of the money with the new offer, Bloomberg said.
