Jeb Bush optimistic about Marlins MLB deal
May 3, 2017 - 12:52 AM Jeb Bush is optimistic he can close a deal to buy the Miami Marlins, with his partner Derek Jeter taking charge of baseball operations."Given the interest we have inside Miami and among people that are potential partners, I'm really excited about it," Bush said, speaking publicly for the first time about his efforts to purchase the team from Jeffrey Loria.
"It's a sport that has huge potential in Miami. I'm excited about the community aspects of this."
The former Florida governor, who lives in Miami, made his comments Tuesday during a discussion at the Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles.
Jeter and Bush were part of rival efforts to buy the Marlins before joining forces.
Jeter was a 14-time All-Star shortstop who retired in 2014 after 20 seasons with the Yankees.
The 42 year-old lives in Tampa and has long talked of his desire to own a team.
