Former Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter is staying busy with his The Players' Tribune venture and other charity work, but he said Wednesday night on SiriusXM radio that he doesn't miss the game "at all."

Speaking to hosts Ben Lyons and Ryan Duffy, Jeter reiterated that it was the "right time" for him to retire and said he's content with what he's doing now.

"I miss my teammates, because you play with guys for a long time, but I keep in touch with a few of them," Jeter said.
