MIAMI — Jorge Posada and Derek Jeter are teammates again.
Posada will be joining the Miami Marlins’ front office as a special adviser to Jeter, said to a person with knowledge of the negotiations. The person spoke Tuesday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because Posada’s hiring has not been publicly announced.
Jeter is entering his second season as the Marlins’ CEO.
Like Jeter, Posada spent his entire playing career with the Yankees. Posada has also primarily been a South Florida resident since retiring after the 2011 season.
Posada batted .273 with 275 home runs and 1,065 RBIs in parts of 17 seasons with the Yankees.
