ANALYSIS/OPINION
Jeffrey Loria may be selling the Miami Marlins.
According to a report in Forbes, Loria — who reportedly is in line for an ambassadorship to France — has a deal to sell the franchise to a group that includes relatives of President Donald Trump for $1.6 billion.
That’s a pretty good return on the $12 million he used to get into the Major League Baseball owner’s club when he bought into the beleaguered Montreal Expos in 1999.
That was a cheaper admission ticket than the $173 million he nearly spent in 1993 to become owner of the Baltimore Orioles.
