Yankees great Derek Jeter’s new TV gig makes a lot more sense now

Derek Jeter’s surprise addition to FOX’s MLB coverage team was the big story coming out of the network’s marathon Super Bowl LVII pregame show. But it sounds like the Yankees great will be coming off the bench here and there, rather than leading the show.

Fox’s pregame is less about analysis and more about goofing around. Jeter is pretty good at the one-line jabs so he could fit it.

He will be teamed on the set with [Alex Rodriguez], David Ortiz, Frank Thomas and host Kevin Burkhardt.
