With a longstanding passion for baseball and the desire to stay connected to the game, MLB great Derek Jeter, with a group of investors, bought the MLB franchise Miami Marlins. After months of trying, Captain Clutch finalized the deal in 2017 and assumed the role of Marlins CEO.

After becoming the CEO of the Marlins, Derek Jeter shifted his whole family to Miami to make things easier for the team and himself. However, things did not pan out as well as Jeter had hoped. And hence, Jeter sold the four percent stake he had in the team in 2022. Notably, the failure of this Marlins deal had put an adverse effect not only on Derek but also on his family. Therefore, Jeter’s supermodel wife, Hannah Jeter, once made a shocking revelation.

Becoming Marlins CEO and shifting to Miami was one of the biggest parts of Jeter’s life. Hence, the details of the role were naturally included in his seven-part docuseries, The Captain. 

What did Hannah Jeter say when Derek Jeter stepped down as Marlins CEO?

Jeter’s long-held dream fueled his ambition to acquire the team. His individual skills didn’t suffice and he got his best friend, NBA legend Michael Jordan to help him buy the team. The move to Miami for the same was sad and incredibly important as well. And Hannah Jeter understood this. But when things didn’t go the way they should have, the supermodel was also heartbroken.

Hence, about being in this position of Jeter stepping down, and the family stuck in Miami, Hannah said, “Did we ever imagine we’d be here? Fu*k no! Like this is why we moved to Miami. We live here, it’s our community. It’s more upsetting to us than anyone else.” 

It wasn’t something anyone would have imagined happening. It was the dream of Captain Clutch. And however tough the situation might have been at the time, the family stuck together and eventually got over it. But why exactly did Jeter sell his share in the Marlins?

Why did Jeter sell his stakes in the Marlins?

The reason Jeter sold his Marlins’ stakes is not clear. But he did say that the team’s vision for which he signed up to be CEO changed over time. The apparent amount for which Derek sold his 4% stake was $44.8 million. However, it is also unclear whether, with Jeter, Jordan also withdrew his contribution or not.
