Derek Jeter and Jeb Bush are no longer the favorites to win the bid to purchase the Miami Marlins.

MLB has told the groups bidding on the team that it wants to see the cash up front to prove they have the financial wherewithal to close the deal and operate the team, the Associated Press reported. Because of the league’s demand, the group led by Tagg Romney now has a head in front in the race to buy the Marlins.

Commissioner Rob Manfred’s office has told the bid groups that Romney’s group has raised a greater percentage of the money needed for the league’s owners to approve a deal, a source told the AP.

Romney’s group also includes former MLB pitchers Tom Glavine and Dave Stewart, although Alex Rodriguez, Jeter’s ex-teammate on the Yankees, reportedly turned down an opportunity to join the effort.
