How Baseball Prepared Derek Jeter for Business | The Deal
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 май 2024
- George Steinbrenner’s decision back in 2004 to pair Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez-two generationally talented baseball players-turned out to be one of the biggest and arguably most successful deals in New York Yankees history. Or all of sports history for that matter.
The results that sprang from the Boss’s machinations became clear: a perennially contending team, a 2009 World Series championship and yes-a lot of headlines. For Jeter, all of that on-field success-and his ability to manage it so gracefully-made him one of the most sought-after athletes both during and after his baseball career. On the latest episode of The Deal with Alex Rodriguez and Jason Kelly, he tells the backstory of how Michael Jordan made him the first baseball player to be endorsed by a then-nascent Jordan Brand, and reveals some never-before-heard details of his tumultuous, three decade-long relationship with A-Rod.
Jeter distinguished himself during a 20-year career played entirely for the Yankees, winning five World Series rings during that time. The last of the titles (and the last time the Yankees won it all) was accomplished with Rodriguez just a few feet away at third base. The pair had known each other since they were teenagers and even shared a 1997 cover of Sports Illustrated.
Jeter was a first-ballot Hall of Famer, inducted into Cooperstown in 2020 with 99.7 percent of the vote. Shortly after retiring, he joined the ownership group of the Miami Marlins and served as the team’s chief executive (the first Black man to hold such a position in Major League Baseball), overseeing both the business and operations of the club. He resigned in 2022, citing strategic differences with his fellow Marlins owners.
Of late, Jeter has been splitting his time between his young family, investing, endorsements and broadcasting-reuniting with Rodriguez to provide on-air baseball commentary.

A-Rod and Jeter were my hero’s growing up. Love this a bunch.
Derek jeter is the 🐐
They hate each other
So glad Arod and Jeter have been able to heal their relationship. Seeing them in there retirement know explains why there was a super tight bromance in the beginning.
me too!
Love how much of a fan A-Rod was and still is of Derek
Arod has matured a lot people change your stuck in the past@@joshua-nf3rx
A-Rod’s self-awareness is great to see. Glad he’s gotten to this place in his life. Jeter is Jeter, nothing else needs to be said about that. Really glad they have 2009. This was a very good interview.
A-Rod looking like he could play again! Dude's in great shape
probably from all the steroids...
okay im kidding dont get mad please i love alex and completely agree :)
you havent rubbed his entire body down with lotion like i have!
@@brettbono9550 Some people would like details! I hear!
He Was FORCED To Retire At 696! He Regrets It To This Day! Marlins Wanted To Sign Him But Selig Forced him To Sign A Contract To Retire
As a lifelong Yankee fan, I love this. God Bless them both.
I was telling another parent at my son’s baseball game today that if Alex Rodriguez would have had Derek Jeter’s parents, he would have been the best player in the history of baseball. Get home 2 hours later and this video pops up on my RUclips feed.
100% spot on!
@@garydepena2332If A Rod had Barry Bonds patents he’d be the best player in MLB history.
Honestly.. could still kinda make the argument. Certainly top 5.
Great conversation with these 2. Love how they were at the top of their profession and how they’ve continue to excel at other ventures after baseball
Number 13 is the best . No matter what you say
In and out of field it’s demonstrate in Minnesota now. He Doing well winning!!
its not about who's best its about what they were and still are able to accomplish together.
I'm very grateful that I clicked on this. From a Yankee hater, I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation.
This is one of Jeter’s better interviews I’ve heard! He really gave us an insight of how smart he actually is. He articulated himself well in this interview.
Alex Rodriguez in Seattle with Ken Griffey Jr. What could and should have been! Those Mariners were almost to the Promised land of winning a Championship if not multiples!
Two of my favorite of all time hands down he’s A Rod had personal mistakes but know one is perfect these two are Studs For Life
Two great ambassadors of the game who traveled way different paths that can share their perspectives . I’m glad they have been able to get to a much better place . I really appreciate how far Alex has come on working on himself. Two great players who did it totally different.
this is just awesome!!!! I hope Derek and Alex see this just to know HOW MUCH me and the world appreciate them being on podcast post career and commentating. I have my high school jersey signed by Derek at one of his early g2 commercials. Alex and Derek were my heroes growing up, I never made it Pro but always treated the game with respect because of how the captain carried himself! I never tossed a helmet or bat in college just because Derek wouldn't do it
My favorite interview so far ever 🙌🙌🙌
Nice to see this 190-WAR left-side-of-the-infield reunite; it's fascinating both in terms of the insightful conversation content AND the unique opportunity to get a sense of where their storied interpersonal dynamic stands in 2024. Well done by all parties involved.
I'm happy! I've been in Ny sports all my life, my dad grew up in the Bronx and pretty sworn I would have been condemned if I didn't end a Yankee fan but I am still an obsessed fan! My dad is my best friend and he has guided me my whole life!!!!
Excellent interview. I am so glad to see these two friends back together. Two of the best baseball players.
They were never friends
What a great episode. Two of my favorite players growing up. Derek, the consumate professional, and alex, the natural. Two of the best shortstops of all time!
Listening to Derek is like listening to a good philosopher. He always says the right thing & always so absolutely correct when it comes to the toughest questions asked. He’s very analytical in a positive way. Really glad he & Alex burried the hatchet & moved on respecting each other. Great interview !
i as well...i was so sad when they had their little beef as these two are in my top 10 favorite players ever for sure. super glad they dropped it and were able to see eye to eye again! i really do think letting yourself step outside of the competitive mindset against another person truly helps that relationship heal.
Derek is just straight up great! The way he talks about us, the franchise, we and never me, my etc. respect that so much !
I have a great Derek Jeter story.
His retirement year the Yankees played the Cardinals in St. Louis; it was so great what Derek did. I was one of the only ones around with a Yankees shirt, a white Nike cotton shirt. They see my shirt, see me staring, and Ill just stare. That's our Yankees! And I'm field side, third base side. I was embarrassed at first, thats our Yankees. I'm watching Teixeira, Cano and Jeter standing there out at shortstop/ shallow outfield talking and looking looking at me look at them and we're all just staring, they're talking and I'm locked in. I didnt wanna embarrass myself lol. And Derek, hes so cool, he says something to them, turns and takes one or a half step and jumps into the air like the Jeter/Jordan Logo. It was one of the coolest things ever. They look over a bit more. I dont know if I waved or what. I just stared. We just watched, looked alike. I never thanked them, I looked over in the visiting dugout which I was seated by. Those guys gave me and those around one of the best moments, those moments were the best moments of that day or that year. Watching the Yankees and my favorite player: Derek Jeter on my favorite team: the Yankees, like one of our favorite athletes: Michael Jordan.
Thanks Jesus! Thanks Derek! Thanks MJ! Thanks Alex! Thanks from reading. Thanks so much.
im glad they are very cordial now .. kudos to time healing wounds and alex maturing alot
Thanks for bring Derek to the podcast. Many of us admire the player but then you discover that personal side which seems to be even better than the baseball player he was.
I hear a lot of people talk smack about the Yankees being The Evil Empire !! We build our foundation from the farm !! Then, we fill in the gaps with people who can take us to a higher level !! I see a lot of teams who are 1-2 players away from a run but, they won't pull the trigger to help improve the line up for great players !! Our fan base has high expectations because we in general know what a championship team looks like !! Our roots are stronger than any professional team !! Hate all you want but I would only consider it envy !!
nice shout out for Luis Sojo....and Alex should be a HOF'ER along with Derek
Really enjoyed this
This was amazing 💙
Great conversation! Nice to see Derek Jeter and ARod together !!!!
Congrats to Jeter and Arod for all your accomplishments. Alex I went to Westminster in 82 and 83 Good for you bro!
The best short stop a rod
Great interview!! Especially as a yanks fan personally! Yankee Legends!
Best of best, baseball lovers ❤⚾️⚾️💪🏽💪🏽👌👌👏👏
Outstanding interview
What a great conversation.
43:40 GREAT Arod
Great episode. Wished it were longer.
It honestly really bummed me out as a kid that these two were best friends but by the time they were teammates they didn't really like each other anymore. I'm almost certain that was part of the reason why Arod was so bad in the playoffs in his first few Yankee seasons. He always was someone who could get in his own head. But he obviously turned it around in 2009.
Now they're in a better place, although clearly not best friends, but it's nice to see them reminiscing and hanging out on purpose.
Good show
Absolutely love these two together.
Great guys. Anyway I don’t know when we will see another player like A-Rod again.
Nice postcast
Legends! 👏🏾👏🏾
Great interview with the Captain
What a great interview this was

great episode!
I hate Arod as a player but I love him as a business man. I enjoyed this interview from the beginning until the end.
LEGENDS
Huge fan of both of these guys growing up, especially the Captain. I’m not sure what it is, but with time I feel like I’ve grown to like ARod a lot maybe even more than DJ. He seems so much more vulnerable than DJ.
26:10 Love Jeter
Great interview!
Our captain 4life 🫡✊🏾
For has great as A-Rod was as a player I love his humility and respect he has of Jeter.
Can you imagine this interview but with Mantle and Maris, Ruth and Gehrig and the list goes on
you can tell these 2 dont like each other. both talk over eachother
I didn't see them talking over each other but there's definitely a tension there. I don't think they don't like each other there's just a weird dynamic them between them
Jeter single handely sent Soto to NYY in the midddle of the show. Rhymes with Icahn's style.
Great interview
11:54 OMG
Excelente
Dope to see they friendly again.
Imagine how great Arod would have been if he wasn't such a head case? That's a scary thought.
How do you make Derek Jeter introduce himself lol
Dropping facts !!!
Luis Sojo 🐴🐎
The New York and national media wanted these 2 men be at odds with eachother…they were literally looking for every opportunity to find a story
19:21 sounds like arods a big drinker hahahha
Never gets old seeing those two in a show or on the field and oc they don’t play anymore
Why do fans keep bringing up them talking again? Because it was a pleasant surprise.
It prepared him by paying him hundreds of millions to spend on businesses who's return on equity was lower than if he just invested the money...
I miss these days...
Both great Yankees all time ,The Captain Jeter is a huge example of being a Professional Baseball Player
Great
This is almost like a 180 from interviews featuring these two (even for the preview of "The Captain" a few years ago). Working together on Fox has seemed to allow Derek to at least look like he tolerates A-Rod's presence lol (especially since it was clear that A-Rod has spent a lot of time apologizing and trying to make amends for whatever Jeter was possibly holding against him lol)
Edit: Derek was ahead of the game with "The Player's Tribune." Now athletes have taken over the media space.
you think they're not cool?
@@mkhanman12345 Now they are. Before you could feel the ice between them lol
@@kiroolioneaver8532 never underestimate jeters ability to be fake
@@bb-gc2tx The thing is in previous intervews Jeter couldn't even pretend to look like he liked A-Rod lol
A-ROD HOFer
White Kobe 🏀🐍
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
bro im not prepared to accept arod with grey in his hair lol
He’s the goat
You shot Derek Jeter!
Wow jeter sounds different
Arod wants in with jeter
The fact that we are talking about Derek/Business after baseball is still not real to me...
4 kids, Derek is the man, a roll model for all, especially young men.
Lol prepared them for business 😅 ya showered them with billions. That's how 😅😅
Jeter is a living legend! My favorite athelete of all time
Yeah, he had plenty of start up money.
Seems like the host camera is hand held. This makes zero sense at the production level of this interview… it is so distracting…
Luis sojo the best
💪🏼💪🏼
They paid lotta money
So what I always thought about Arod and Jeter, jeter confirmed in the first 4 minutes. Personality and Culture differences prevented the bond between them 2.
Derek Jeter is the best! Really undefeated
Mr. Jeter,, is telling the truth. Keep your private life private. There is not enough money to mix both business and private life.
By being a millionaire?
