In the filing, the Marlins and Gossett noted that they had reached an agreement in principle but required additional time to finalize the terms. They requested a 14-day stay to complete the process, explaining that if the matter wasn’t resolved within that timeframe, the Marlins would proceed with filing their answer to Gossett’s complaint, as originally scheduled for Friday.
Gossett’s suit included email exchanges with the Marlins, confirming the terms of the agreement to purchase in-game memorabilia, which typically includes items like jerseys, bats, and helmets. The game in question also saw Ohtani hit his 49th, 50th, and 51st home runs, adding to the significance of the event and complicating Gossett’s claim to second base.
The Marlins reportedly informed Gossett that the second base, which he had hoped to purchase, went to the Dodgers due to Ohtani’s 51st stolen base, which took place shortly after the 50th.
Gossett is represented by Matthew P. Leto of the Leto Law Firm and Richard A. Roth and Brian Levenson of Roth Law Firm PLLC. The Marlins are represented by Patrick F. Martin of Ogletree Deakins Nash Smoak & Stewart PC.
