来源: http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/mlb/miami-marlins/article166767852.html Loria agrees to sell Miami Marlins to Sherman and Jeter, source says By Barry Jackson of Miami Herald Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria has agreed to sell the franchise for $1.2 billion to a group led by New York businessman Bruce Sherman and former New York Yankees star Derek Jeter, and Major League Baseball is expected to receive the written agreement on Friday, according to a New York based MLB source. Sherman, a wealthy venture capitalist who has a home in New York and is building a home in South Florida, will be the "control person," similar to a managing general partner. But Jeter, the former New York Yankees star shortstop, will run the business and baseball sides of the organization, the source said. The Sherman/Jeter group has about 16 investors and they have raised the money to purchase the team after months of seeking investors to meet Loria's asking price, the source said. A purchase agreement with the Sherman/Jeter group, which has been worked on for months, is expected to be completed on Friday and submitted to MLB offices in New York. Sherman, a Marlins fan, is known for his philanthropic work and previously was the chairman and chief investment officer of Naples-based Private Capital Management. Sherman increased his investment in the Marlins bid after wealthy Chicago businessman Richard Chaifetz backed out of the deal. Jeter is believed to be contributing only $25 million of his own money but has a great relationship with Sherman, who will allow Jeter to essentially run the organization. MLB officials are expected to discuss the sale, but not vote on it, in owners meetings in Chicago next week. Sherman and possibly Jeter are expected to meet with the ownership committee prior for a full vote of owners, which is the final required step for the sale's completion. The vote could be weeks away, with closing expected the first week of October. Miami businessman Jorge Mas also pursued the team and met with Marlins officials this week but did not match the $1.2 billion bid of the Sherman and Jeter group. New York businessman Wayne Rothbaum, who led a competing group that included former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, also bid for the Marlins, before stopping his pursuit earlier this week. Loria has owned the team since 2002 and won a World Series in 2003, but the Marlins haven't made the playoffs since then, the second-longest postseason drought in Major League Baseball behind the Seattle Mariners. The Marlins are expected to lose more than $60 million this season, according to a source who has seen their books, in part because their revenues are among the lowest in MLB. Their TV contracts pays the lowest of any team in MLB, and Marlins attendance traditionally ranks among the bottom five in MLB. Loria decided to sell the team for personal reasons and had been seeking a buyer for months. Marlins president David Samson on Friday declined to comment about where the sales process stood. ------ 基本上马林鱼竞标案由Jeter/Sherman的集团胜出，竞标金额据信达到12亿美金 而马林鱼老板Jeffery Loria也同意这个价格，这笔交易案内容预计这礼拜五MLB会收到 而据信Jeter在这笔交易案出资25M，而之後确定收购成功的话，Sherman会先让Jeter管理 棒球方面的事务 Sherman是这笔交易案的主要出金者，是位慈善家和一间佛州的私人投资公司的前主席 Jeter/Sherman的集团和MLB方面会在下礼拜时，在芝加哥跟其他的29队的老板开会，讨论 该笔交易。 MLB球队的Ownerships买卖/转移需要经过其他球队的老板投票同意，也是该笔交易案的最 後一步。 同票的过程可能会经历数个礼拜，预计在10月的第一个礼拜投票案会结束。 Loria在2002年开始拥有马林鱼球队。在2003年赢过次WS，之後就没进过任何的季後赛，仅 次於西雅图水手队。 马林鱼在这季预计会损失60M美金，原因除了他们的电视转播权是MLB球队里最低的，而球 场观众出席也是敬陪末座。 Jeter/Sherman投资团体其他出资者目前已确定的有 前NBA球星Michael Jordan 前摩根史坦利的主管，Greg Fleming 前高盛主管，Doug Kimmelman TPG私人投资公司的合资夥伴和合资人，John Troiano -- "Medicine, Law, Business, Engineering, These are noble pursuits, and necessary to sustain life."
