Quogue Capital founder Wayne P. Rothbaum is among the final bidders for baseball’s Miami Marlins, according to people close to the negotiations.
Bids were due last week and came in between $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion, said one of the people, who asked for anonymity because the talks are private. That would be a premium to Forbes’ $940 million valuation of the team and an eightfold return for owner Jeffrey Loria, who bought the Major League Baseball team in 2002 for $158 million.
