Derek Jeter steps down as CEO of Miami Marlins

Derek Jeter announced Monday that he is stepping down as CEO of the Miami Marlins and is selling his stake in the MLB franchise.

The former New York Yankees star, who after ending his playing career joined the Marlins organization in September 2017, said the vision for the franchise’s future is “different than the one I signed up to lead” and that now is “the right time for me to step aside as a new season begins.”
