Derek Jeter's short stint as co-owner of the Miami Marlins didn't go as planned. The Hall of Famer gave up his stakes in the organization within five years of operating as the CEO of the team.
Jeter enjoyed an illustrious playing career, spending 20 seasons with the New York Yankees. He earned 14 All-Star caps and won the World Series five times.
In 2017, he joined Bruce Sherman's group, which acquired the Marlins from Jeffrey Loria. Jeter held a 4% stake in the franchise and was named CEO.
Early in his Marlins front office tenure, Derek Jeter dismissed then-team president David Samson. He also parted ways with legends Andre Dawson and Tony Perez, who served as front-office consultants. The team traded star player Giancarlo Stanton after his 2017 MVP season, despite being in the fourth year of a 13-year, $325 million contract.
