Derek Jeter 'Not Going' to Yankees-Marlins Series in New York

Marlins CEO Derek Jeter will sit out a trip to his old stomping grounds.

Miami travels to take on the Yankees in a two-game series starting Monday.

But Jeter talked to reporters Friday before the Marlins' game against the Pirates and said he won't be going to up to the Bronx, per MLB.com's Joe Frisaro.

"I went to the Spring Training game when we played New York," he said. "But it would be an awkward situation for me to actually go to Yankee Stadium. I'm just being honest with you guys. That's why I'm not going.
