Days Before Flying to London, Frenemies Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter Renew Their Friendship

The upcoming MLB London Series is going to be interesting for a number of reasons. Playing in new surroundings and a new country is already exciting for baseball players as well as spectators. This time around, fans will also get to see some entertaining match-ups behind the scenes too. Notably, the New York Yankees legends Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez will commentate on a game together.

If one has followed baseball in the last few decades, one must know what kind of impacts Jeter and A-Rod had on the game during their playing days. In addition to their prowess on the diamond, the duo is also famous for the trajectory of their personal relationship. From friends to enemies to teammates, it’s still a topic of discussion years after their retirement. And these two is stirring things up again with recent social media activity.

Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez seemingly rekindle their friendship

A-Rod has long worked as an analyst for FOX Sports. From different guests and partners that join him, he has recently been hosting with former Boston Red Sox rival David Ortiz. Now, Jeter is also set to join them. But for those hoping to see Jeter on their screens every week, FOX Sports threw cold water on those dreams. The Hall of Famer will only get two shots during the entire regular season.

In addition to the London Series, he will also make an appearance during July’s All-Star Game and the postseason in October. Nevertheless, the former Yankee seems excited to team up with his old friend/ enemy A-Rod.

Rodriguez is currently vacationing with his family and everyone has been posting on social media from beautiful Croatia. The business magnate also posted a video of a cruise in the middle of the ocean with gorgeous scenery around. With a carneyval remix in the background, he captioned the reel, “Vacation mode 😎”. And Derek Jeter, who is not exactly known for his Instagram activity, ‘liked’ the post! And it wasn’t just him, Jeter and Rodriguez’s former teammate CC Sabathia did the same. In the social media world, especially when it comes to celebrities, any move is a big deal!

Jeter may be talented on the mound, but how will he do behind a mic?

Always passionate about baseball, A-Rod has long served in the role of an MLB analyst. On some level, every athlete is an analyst as they study the game and look at opponents to better their own play. But to do it on a big stage for thousands of fans is a different matter. While Rodriguez has been doing a stellar job in this role, many have questioned what Jeter will bring to the table.

Earlier this year, when the same was announced, Yankee lovers and MLB fans, in general, brightened at the news. Two great players with a past that involved more than baseball would be on the same team again, in a way. Jeter has never been one to be articulate when on camera, but this role may bring out new sides to him. Things are bound to be interesting!
