Marlins: Multiple groups submitted bids to buy the team, and none has yet been accepted, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said Tuesday.
Manfred’s comments came after Bloomberg reported a group led by former Yankees captain Derek Jeter and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush won an auction for the team with a $1.3 billion bid.
“There are multiple groups interested in acquiring the Marlins,” Manfred said in Pittsburgh while attending the Pirates-Cubs game. “One of those groups is the BushJeter group. When we have a resolution as to which bid is going to be accepted, we will announce that.”
Completion of any sale by owner Jeffrey Loria could take months and would require approval by at least 75 percent of the major league teams.
