The MLB Winter Meetings are officially underway at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Florida. But Marlins part-owner Derek Jeter is nowhere to be found. In Orlando, that is.
The retired shortstop-turned-baseball executive was spotted at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium to watch the Dolphins take on the Patriots Monday night.
A reminder that Derek Jeter, who is at MNF instead of the Winter Meetings, is getting PAID $5M a year in salary/management fee/travel budget by the new owners, which includes him. pic.twitter.com/UxLlEwFX8o

Many are displeased with Jeter’s absence, arguing that he should be present to explain the Marlins’ offseason moves.
