As Derek Jeter and Jeb Bush look to finance their purchase of the Miami Marlins, they have turned to a one-time rival: Quogue Capital founder Wayne Rothbaum, one of the losing bidders for the Major League Baseball franchise.

The investor is in advanced talks to join the Jeter-Bush bid, according to a person with knowledge of the discussions. The size of Rothbaum’s investment isn’t clear, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private.
