Back in September 2017, Major League Baseball approved the sale of the Miami Marlins to new owner Bruce Sherman, who was enticing to MLB because former Yankees icon Derek Jeter was part of the management group. It was an easy PR win for MLB to give the thumbs-up to the Sherman/Jeter tag-team, and Jeter not only assumed a four-percent stake in the team, but also the role of CEO. The Hall of Famer had always talked about wanting to own a team after retirement rather than coaching; this was an opportunity to do so.
That four-and-a-half year partnership came to a close on Monday, though.
