Marlins manager Don Mattingly said criticisms being directed at Derek Jeter have been “unfair,” but the team’s new CEO “might be the first to admit that [he] would do some things a little differently.”
“I know what goes on from the inside so I know it’s unfair,” Mattingly said. “I have more information than you all. I know the truth in a lot of these matters. I know what really happened in these situations.”
Jeter has come under attack for some initial missteps.
But Mattingly said Jeter is probably experiencing the same sort of growing pains as a front office executive as he did early on as a player.
