Jeter mum on his plans for Marlins

Derek Jeter said he’ll learn on the job as he tries to lead the Miami Marlins out of the wilderness.

How Jeter expects to get there remains a secret, even after his first public comments about the Marlins since beginning his pursuit of the team nearly a year ago. The rookie owner declined on Tuesday to discuss his plans, and whether they include Giancarlo Stanton, Don Mattingly or even the home run sculpture at Marlins Park. “You’re trying to get me to tell you what I’m going to do?” Jeter said. “Some things you keep private. But yeah, we do have to rebuild.” Jeter and new principle owner Bruce Sherman held a 30-minute news conference to discuss their investment group’s $1.2 billion purchase of the Marlins.

Jeter shed no light on an anticipated roster shake-up following the team’s eighth consecutive losing season, the longest streak in the majors, but said he’ll rely heavily this off-season on president of baseball operations Michael Hill.

Jeter said he hasn’t met with any players, and wouldn’t address the future of Stanton, the major-league home run and RBI champion. Stanton’s salary will nearly double next year to $25 million, which could make him unaffordable for the revenue-challenged franchise. Bautista, Blue Jays part ways:

staff: St. Louis Cardinals pitching coach Derek Lilliquist and bullpen coach Blaise Ilsley will not return to the team’s coaching staff next season.

Lilliquist had worked as the pitching coach since August 2012, helping the Cardinals to four straight playoff berths and a National League-best team ERA of 2.94 in 2015.

That rose to 4.08 in 2016 and was 4.01 this season as St. Louis’ pitching staff battled numerous injuries.
