Derek Jeter is saying 2o long to the Miami Marlins.
The CEO of the Major League Baseball franchise announced on Monday that he and the Marlins “are officially ending our relationship” and that he’d also divest his shares in the club.
It’s curious timing. Since he stepped in back in 2017, Jeter was part of a tear-it-down-and-start-all-over rebuild that was leading to paying off soon. Their pitching staff is filled with prospects who were breaking out. The lineup had some noteworthy names, including some they had dealt for before the 2022 lockout.
In his statement — see below — there’s something about how the vision for the future was different than the one he signed up for. Hmm.
So let’s take a look back at Jeter’s tenure as he exits with some noteworthy moves made while he was CEO:
