CHICAGO (AP) — Derek
Jeter won five World Series
during a 20-year run with
the New York Yankees.
He piled up 3,465 hits and
made the All-Star team 14
times while becoming one
of baseball’s biggest stars.
Will that success continue
in the front office of the Mi-
ami Marlins? Stay tuned.
Jeter is a limited partner
in an ownership group led
by venture capitalist Bruce
Sherman that has a $1.2
billion agreement in place
to buy the Marlins from Jef-
frey Loria. Sherman met
with the MLB ownership
committee at the owners’
meetings on Wednesday,
and the deal could be
completed by the end of
the season.
It’s a long road to the fin-
ish line, but the 43-year-old
Jeter would take over Mi-
ami’s business and base-
ball operations if the trans- Red Sox crush Cardinals with eight-run fifth
action is approved. The
Marlins have finished under
.500 every year since 2010, Boston Red Sox left fielder Andrew Benintendi leaps and makes
something that never hap- the play on fly out by St. Louis Cardinals’ Jose Martinez during the
