After long offseason, Derek Jeter and Miami Marlins are set for spring training
Derek Jeter hasn’t shown his face at spring training since 2014, before he played the last of his 20 seasons as a shortstop with the New York Yankees. He’ll end his hiatus Wednesday, though, when he shows up in street clothes to check out the Marlins — HIS Marlins — open camp in Jupiter.
“I’m sure it’ll be kind of different and odd,” Jeter said.
After four months of adjusting to his new corporate role as the CEO and part-owner of the Marlins, much of it spent sitting behind a desk and going around the community, shaking hands and posing for selfies, Jeter finally gets to return to the diamond and examine a creation of his own making.
