Michael Jordan shows investment interest in Marlins

MIAMI (AP) _ Derek Jeter’s bid for the Miami Marlins now includes a new
investor: Michael Jordan.

The NBA Hall of Famer’s commitment to Jeter’s bidding group has been confirmed
by Jordan’s spokeswoman and comes a day after baseball commissioner Rob Manfred
announced that the former New York Yankees shortstop was among three investment
groups seeking to buy the team. Manfred said the three groups are working on
financial structuring, legal issues and due diligence in preparation for a
purchase.

Loria on Tuesday declined to say when he will sell the team, although Manfred
said the Marlins are expected to make a decision soon.
