How Baseball Prepared Derek Jeter for Business | The Deal

The results that sprang from the Boss’s machinations became clear: a perennially contending team, a 2009 World Series championship and yes—a lot of headlines. For Jeter, all of that on-field success—and his ability to manage it so gracefully—made him one of the most sought-after athletes both during and after his baseball career. On the latest episode of The Deal with Alex Rodriguez and Jason Kelly, he tells the backstory of how Michael Jordan made him the first baseball player to be endorsed by a then-nascent Jordan Brand, and reveals some never-before-heard details of his tumultuous, three decade-long relationship with A-Rod.
Jeter distinguished himself during a 20-year career played entirely for the Yankees, winning five World Series rings during that time. The last of the titles (and the last time the Yankees won it all) was accomplished with Rodriguez just a few feet away at third base. The pair had known each other since they were teenagers and even shared a 1997 cover of Sports Illustrated.
Jeter was a first-ballot Hall of Famer, inducted into Cooperstown in 2020 with 99.7 percent of the vote. Shortly after retiring, he joined the ownership group of the Miami Marlins and served as the team’s chief executive (the first Black man to hold such a position in Major League Baseball), overseeing both the business and operations of the club. He resigned in 2022, citing strategic differences with his fellow Marlins owners.
Of late, Jeter has been splitting his time between his young family, investing, endorsements and broadcasting—reuniting with Rodriguez to provide on-air baseball commentary.

A-Rod and Jeter were my hero’s growing up. Love this a bunch.
-
So glad Arod and Jeter have been able to heal their relationship. Seeing them in there retirement know explains why there was a super tight bromance in the beginning.
-
Love how much of a fan A-Rod was and still is of Derek
-
A-Rod’s self-awareness is great to see. Glad he’s gotten to this place in his life. Jeter is Jeter, nothing else needs to be said about that. Really glad they have 2009. This was a very good interview.
-
A-Rod looking like he could play again! Dude's in great shape
-
As a lifelong Yankee fan, I love this. God Bless them both.
-
Great conversation with these 2. Love how they were at the top of their profession and how they’ve continue to excel at other ventures after baseball
-
I was telling another parent at my son’s baseball game today that if Alex Rodriguez would have had Derek Jeter’s parents, he would have been the best player in the history of baseball. Get home 2 hours later and this video pops up on my YouTube feed.
-
I'm very grateful that I clicked on this. From a Yankee hater, I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation.

I have a great Derek Jeter story. His retirement year the Yankees played the Cardinals in St. Louis; it was so great what Derek did. I was one of the only ones around with a Yankees shirt, a white Nike cotton shirt. They see my shirt, see me staring, and Ill just stare. That's our Yankees! And I'm field side, third base side. I was embarrassed at first, thats our Yankees. I'm watching Teixeira, Cano and Jeter standing there out at shortstop/ shallow outfield talking and looking looking at me look at them and we're all just staring, they're talking and I'm locked in. I didnt wanna embarrass myself lol. And Derek, hes so cool, he says something to them, turns and takes one or a half step and jumps into the air like the Jeter/Jordan Logo. It was one of the coolest things ever. They look over a bit more. I dont know if I waved or what. I just stared. We just watched, looked alike. I never thanked them, I looked over in the visiting dugout which I was seated by. Those guys gave me and those around one of the best moments, those moments were the best moments of that day or that year. Watching the Yankees and my favorite player: Derek Jeter on my favorite team: the Yankees, like one of our favorite athletes: Michael Jordan. Thanks Jesus! Thanks Derek! Thanks MJ! Thanks Alex! Thanks from reading. Thanks so much.

Two of my favorite of all time hands down he’s A Rod had personal mistakes but know one is perfect these two are Studs For Life
-
Number 13 is the best . No matter what you say
-
I love this duo so much. Two goats and true models for the youth.
-
Alex Rodriguez in Seattle with Ken Griffey Jr. What could and should have been! Those Mariners were almost to the Promised land of winning a Championship if not multiples!
-
this is just awesome!!!! I hope Derek and Alex see this just to know HOW MUCH me and the world appreciate them being on podcast post career and commentating. I have my high school jersey signed by Derek at one of his early g2 commercials. Alex and Derek were my heroes growing up, I never made it Pro but always treated the game with respect because of how the captain carried himself! I never tossed a helmet or bat in college just because Derek wouldn't do it
-
Nice to see this 190-WAR left-side-of-the-infield reunite; it's fascinating both in terms of the insightful conversation content AND the unique opportunity to get a sense of where their storied interpersonal dynamic stands in 2024. Well done by all parties involved.
-
My favorite interview so far ever 🙌🙌🙌
-
Two great ambassadors of the game who traveled way different paths that can share their perspectives . I’m glad they have been able to get to a much better place . I really appreciate how far Alex has come on working on himself. Two great players who did it totally different.
-
This is one of Jeter’s better interviews I’ve heard! He really gave us an insight of how smart he actually is. He articulated himself well in this interview.
-
What a great episode. Two of my favorite players growing up. Derek, the consumate professional, and alex, the natural. Two of the best shortstops of all time!
