DETROIT — Giancarlo Stanton will be at Yankee Stadium on Monday preparing to play his old team, the Marlins. What he won’t do is check in with Derek Jeter, the minority owner and CEO of the Marlins, who dealt Stanton to the Yankees after the power-hitting outfielder blocked trades to the Cardinals and Giants.
This week Jeter, who will be in New York City with the Marlins, said it would be awkward for him to enter the Stadium, so he will avoid it.
Whether or not Jeter changes his mind — not something Jeter did during his 20-year career in The Bronx — and surfaces at the Stadium, Stanton said he doesn’t carry a grudge toward the former Yankees captain.
