ESPN - Source: Real estate mogul Charles Kushner interested in purchasing Marlins

The potential sale of the Miami Marlins has a long way to go, but the name of at least one person who has been in negotiations to buy the team is sure to cause a stir.

Multiple sources with knowledge of negotiations have told ESPN that real estate mogul Charles Kushner, father-in-law of Ivanka Trump, is part of a potential purchase group. It is not known if he is the primary bidder.

His son Jared Kushner is the senior adviser to President Donald Trump.

“Under Major League Baseball rules, the Commissioner’s Office must be informed of any conversations about a potential sale,” Major League Baseball said in a statement provided to ESPN. “The Commissioner’s Office has not heard directly or indirectly of any conversation involving Charles Kushner.”

A spokesperson for Charles Kushner declined comment. Marlins president David Samson also declined comment.
