Did power-hungry Derek Jeter push Jeb Bush away from Miami Marlins sale?

On the field, Derek Jeter was a team player willing to do the little things to help the Yankees win for two decades.

Off the field, Jeter reportedly didn't take that same mentality to the board room.

According to a report from Bloomberg, a fight over control was part of the reason Jeb Bush backed out of a partnership with Jeter to own the Miami Marlins: The former all-time great shortstop was power hungry and attempting to seize total control of the franchise within a few short years of a deal.
