Former New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter is part of a group led by ex-Florida Gov. Jeb Bush that has reached an agreement to purchase the Miami Marlins after submitting a bid of $1.3 billion, according to multiple media reports.

How does Jeb have enough money to be a major partner in buying a baseball franchise??
Something fishy about this deal.
I really didn’t pass judgement on whether this is a “good deal” or not (although, at this point in time, it almost certainly is not) — time will tell.
I simply said that if a lower mid-range Major League Baseball team was worth $1.3b, then lots of teams just got a nice boost to their property value.
Running a team must be the way Bush babies rehabilitate themselves.
Keeps those dimwits from having the time and opportunity to stupidly assist the Obama Left in transforming America into the third world.
The Marlins built their new stadium in little Havana.
A place difficult for anyone who doesn’t live in Miami to get to.
Instead of having it close to freeway access.
Besides, who cares to go to anything Jeb owns?
