News of Derek Jeter’s decision to leave his role as Marlins CEO caught many by surprise on Monday, though the focus quickly shifted to speculation on what will be Hall-of-Famer’s next career move. One possible avenue on the table? TV broadcasting.
ESPN is reportedly interested in bringing Jeter into the fold for its baseball coverage, according to Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports. It’s not yet clear whether Jeter has any interest in working in TV, or what exact role the network could have in mind for him. McCarthy also cited Fox, Turner Sports and the YES Network as other interested parties competing for Jeter’s services should he opt to go the broadcasting route.
