The team has reportedly purchased the franchise for $1.2 billion. Jeter’s group was considered the front-runners from the onset.
New York businessman Bill Sherman will be considered the main owner. Jeter is expected to run the business and baseball operations.
The official transaction is expected to be voted on next week at the MLB owner’s meeting in Chicago.
Jeter reportedly contributed $25 million to the sale. Loria bought the franchise in 2002 for $158.5 million from John Henry, who is presently the Boston Red Sox owner.

Jeter’s group is taking over a team that is currently 53-60 at press time. On Thursday night, the team lost 3-2 to the Washington Nationals.
