Jeffrey Loria open to considering sale of Marlins

[brooklynboy]

bb......was there for the All Stars and back this Thursday with a Buddy of mine for the Cinci Game at Marlins Park. We love our Stadium and we deserve a winner and Loria to be gone for Good !

It's been quiet on the ownership front.. What's going on?? I hope the recent selling spree is not another fire sale for the new owner..

Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria has agreed to sell the franchise for $1.2 billion to a group including retired shortstop Derek Jeter, reports Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald. The faction also features wealthy investor Bruce Sherman, the former chairman of Private Capital Management. Sherman, not Jeter, will be the control person, per Spencer. However, Jeter will have the main say over the baseball and business sides of the organization.

hopefully that means they are doing a smart rebuild to compete again and not a get cheaper long term move. last thing the marlins need is an owner even more greedy than loria. some people always feared that jeter is only the face to make the marlins look better while the real owner bruce sherman would milk the marlins like loria did.
