Derek Jeter didn’t buy the Miami Marlins to make the New York Yankees better. Granted, he’s did exactly that. But it was a matter of circumstance, not some kind of scheme that was finally put into action.
You’ll recall that the Miami Marlins attempted to trade Giancarlo Stanton to the St. Louis Cardinals and the San Francisco Giants earlier this week. He vetoed those deals. He didn’t want to play in either of those cities.
Now that he is a Yankee, sour Miami Marlins fans appear ready to accuse a Yankee great of coming up clutch for the Yankees yet again.
