Miami Marlins CEO Derek Jeter confirmed to multiple media outlets including The Associated Press that Hall of Famer and former Cincinnati Reds great Tony Perez, former Reds manager Jack McKeon, Jeff Conine and Andre Dawson all turned down the chance to stay with the team in reduced roles with lower salaries.
Last month, Jeter told McKeon there's no spot for him with the team, according to a report by FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman, and Heyman said a recent meeting with Perez left the former Big Red Machine great with a bad taste in his mouth.
