‘We’re Going To Put Players On The Field Who Work Hard & Compete’: Derek Jeter On Marlins

MIAMI (CBSMiami) — The Miami Marlins are getting ready to head to spring training Wednesday but first team CEO Derek Jeter is answering some tough questions from the media as he faces scrutiny over the team’s roster purge.

Facing South Florida reporters on Tuesday morning at Marlins Park, Jeter was grilled about spring training, the state of the organization and everything in between.

On spring training: “I haven’t been to spring training since I was a player so it will be different.”

When asked if he had any urge to swing a bat, the answer was a resounding no.
