Jeter flip-flop: May not fire Marlins execs

-

Derek Jeter apparently has made his first flip-flop as the Marlins’ new CEO and part owner.

The Yankees great reached out to four esteemed members of the Marlins organizati­on whom he reportedly fired, and is now interested in keeping the quartet in roles yet to be determined, according to FanRag Sports.

In September, Jeter reportedly asked for the dismissal of Baseball Hall of Famers Andre Dawson and Tony Perez, as well as Jeff Conine, the former outfielder known as “Mr. Marlin,” and 2003 World Series-winning manager Jack McKeon.

Jeter and controllin­g owner Bruce Sherman spoke publicly on Tuesday for the first time about their group’s $1.2 billion purchase of the Marlins. During that press conference, Jeter did not divulge whether the team was planning to keep slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who hit an MLBleading 59 homers this season.
