Don Mattingly: Derek Jeter 'Always Talked About' Owning Team 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Apr 6, 2017 4:18 pm

Don Mattingly says Derek Jeter, who succeeded him as captain of the New York Yankees, has "always talked about" owning a Major League team one day.

Mattingly was asked about a report that Jeter and former Florida governor Jeb Bush were among those who could try to buy the Miami Marlins from Jeffrey Loria.

The Marlins skipper said he is "sure" Jeter would be a good owner, because he "pretty much seems to be good at everything that he tries to do."

"He's always talked about it," Mattingly said. "I asked if he wanted to coach, and he's like, 'Never."
