Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria reached an agreement to sell the team to a group headed by former New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter for $1.2 billion, multiple outlets reported on Friday.The club has not confirmed the reports, although ESPN -- citing an undisclosed source -- said the deal is likely to be announced "in the coming days."Financier Bruce Sherman will hold the controlling interest and plans for Jeter to be the team's chief executive officer, the Miami Herald reported. Jeter reportedly is investing approximately $25 million of his own money.The $1.2 billion price tag of the sale is the second-highest in a history for a Major League Baseball team, behind only the Los Angeles Dodgers' $2 billion sale in 2012.--Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras is expected to be sidelined a minimum of four weeks with a hamstring injury, the team announced.Contreras sustained the injury during Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The Cubs are calling the injury a "moderate" strain for Contreras, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list and will be re-evaluated in approximately two weeks.The 25-year-old Contreras pulled up lame just a few feet from first base after hitting a grounder in the eighth inning of the Cubs' 3-1 loss. He remained on the ground for a few minutes before being helped off the field.Contreras is hitting .274 with 21 homers and 70 RBIs in 102 games this season. He was batting .311 with 10 homers and 29 RBIs since the All-Star break.--The New York Yankees placed left-handed starting pitcher CC Sabathia on the 10-day disabled list with right knee inflammation.Sabathia, 37, underwent an MRI exam on his knee Wednesday in New York, but the test revealed no new damage. The former Cy Young Award winner will miss Sunday's scheduled start against the Boston Red Sox."When you have a guy that has a banged-up knee, you worry that there's more damage," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.In a corresponding move, the Yankees recalled left-handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Sunday opposite Boston's Chris Sale.--The Oakland Athletics recalled recently acquired outfielder Boog Powell from Triple-A Nashville.The Athletics also recalled right-hander Michael Brady from Nashville while optioning outfielders Jaycob Brugman and Mark Canha to the same club.Powell was acquired on Sunday in the deal that sent All-Star first baseman Yonder Alonso to the Seattle Mariners. The 24-year-old had a major league stint with the Mariners earlier this season but batted just .194 in 23 games.Powell hit .340 in 58 games at Triple-A Tacoma prior to the trade. The left-handed hitter was 4-for-16 in three games for Nashville.--The Chicago White Sox acquired minor league right-handed pitcher Ryan Burr in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for international signing bonus pool money.Chicago also recalled right-hander Reynaldo Lopez from Triple-A Charlotte to start Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The White Sox also outrighted left-hander David Holmberg to Charlotte.Burr, 23, went 2-2 with a 1.89 ERA and 75 strikeouts in 39 minor league appearances between Single-A Kane County and Single-A Visalia this season. He was Arizona's fifth-round pick in the 2015 amateur draft.Lopez, 23, is 6-7 with a 3.79 ERA and 131 strikeouts in 22 starts with Charlotte this season and will wear No. 40 with the White Sox. The 26-year-old Holmberg went 2-3 with a 3.55 ERA and 28 strikeouts in 33 games (six starts) with Chicago in 2017.
