Jeter Out of Miami

[moonslav59]

There’s been a seismic shift in Marlins leadership, as Derek Jeter announced today that he is leaving the organization and will no longer serve as an executive or a shareholder with the club. Jeter’s statement reads as follows:

 

“Today I am announcing that the Miami Marlins and I are officially ending our relationship and I will no longer serve as CEO nor as a shareholder in the Club. We had a vision five years ago to turn the Marlins franchise around, and as CEO, I have been proud to put my name and reputation on the line to make our plan a reality. Through hard work, trust and accountability, we transformed every aspect of the franchise, reshaping the workforce, and developing a long-term strategic plan for success.

 

That said, the vision for the future of the franchise is different than the one I signed up to lead. Now is the right time for me to step aside as a new season begins.

 

My family and I would like to thank our incredible staff, Marlins fans, Marlins players and the greater Miami community for welcoming us with open arms and making us feel at home. The organization is stronger today than it was five years ago, and I am thankful and grateful to have been a part of this team.”

Marlins chairman and principal owner Bruce Sherman issued his own statement on the severing of the relationship:

 

“The Miami Marlins and Derek Jeter announced today that they have agreed to officially end their relationship. The Marlins thank Derek for his many contributions and wish him luck in his future endeavors.

 

We have a deep bench of talent that will oversee both the business and baseball decisions while we work to identify a new CEO to lead our franchise. The ownership group is committed to keep investing in the future of the franchise — and we are determined to build a team that will return to the postseason and excite Marlins fans and the local community.”

If the owners cared about the PR war here, I'd say this is pretty bad for their case.

Wrong forum.

Jeter was promised a higher team budget. The owner went back on that. Jeter sticks to his guns. Good for him. Time for the Yanks to bring him home

Then they'd have to let Judge go in free agency... because the Jeter Cam would be focused again on the real thing.

I agree with Turner. Miami isnt a spender, but if they were to add an offense to their electric pitching staff, financial investments would need to be made. Status quo (they added Garcia, but that is it) will leave them a .500 or worse team again. Jeter thought he had another $15-$20 mil to play with in 2022. That is enough to add someone with a good bat.

Jeter didn't quit Miami; the Marlins quit on Jeter.

Hogwash. Jeter quit.

Hogwash. Jeter quit.

 

Nobody hates the Jeter Yankees and the Jeter fistpump and the Jeter Gold Gloves and the Jeter Fox Cam that followed him around for 9 innings every night more than me. But he's not walking away from the Marlins because he wanted them to tank again.

His ads with Steinbrenner were epic!

I didn’t say he didn’t have a reason to quit, but he quit.

 

He was not let go.
