While there’s no clear sign that Jeter will be either incredibly good or extremely bad at running a team, that doesn’t mean people don’t have thoughts about the transfer of power in Miami.
First of all, how did the Player’s Tribune (a site that Jeter founded) possibly miss out on this scoop?
There’s some general mockery of Jeter as well as questions about his capabilities, which is always a good time as long as it doesn’t get too mean. But also the acknowledgement that Anyone But Loria is an upgrade.
Most importantly, can we find a team for Chrissy?
Last but not least, the most crucial reaction of them all.
There better be a “Yeah Jeets” T-Shirt giveaway at some point in their inaugural season or the team will be mired in mediocrity forever. That’s definitely how cause and effect works.
