In terms of a source for the information, the story references “MLB sources who declined to be identified.”
Following the release of the report, the current owner of the Marlins, Bruce Sherman, is saying not so fast.
Sherman released a statement Tuesday following the LA Times report.
In the statement, Sherman boldly denies the report that the Marlins could soon be on the market.
The statement reads:
“The Miami Marlins are not for sale, have not been for sale under my ownership, and will not be for sale in my lifetime. It is irresponsible to report otherwise. It is and will continue to be a privilege to own this great organization. I look forward to seeing our loyal fans at Opening Day on March 30th.”
