In a Viral Pic, Die-Hard New Yorker Derek Jeter and a Popular Yankees Hater Find Common Ground

Derek Jeter made his appearance at this year’s HomeRun Derby at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. But he stroked a pose with someone who is not fond of Jeter’s former team, the New York Yankees. He has not only expressed his detest for the Yankees but has even stated that he will never sign a deal with them under any circumstances, not even when he is dead.

But it looks like he is not a hater of Yankees veteran Derek Jeter; the picture was shared by Mr. November on his social media. In this picture, both of them look indulged at the moment, and the warmth can be felt through the picture.

Derek Jeter Poses With Jays Star

This picture was shared by Jeter on his Instagram and features none other than Toronto Blue Jays hitter Vladimir Guerrero Junior and Julio Rodriguez. This moment came after Vlad clinched the title of HomeRun Derby at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. Jeter congratulated him with the caption, “Congrats VladyJr.” The picture has gone viral as it’s something that is very unusual for both Yanks and Jays fans.

On Monday, Vlad hit the headlines as he won the HRD title with his power hitting and became the second member of the Guerrero family to take home the championship after his father did it in 2007. Vlad has been doing great for the Jays for the past few years and has multiple accolades to his name. But Vlad is not a great Yankees fan, and he has made distasteful statements against the New York Yankees team intermittently because he has faced backlash from Yankees fans.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s Statements Against the Yankees

There is no specific reason why he is not a great admirer of the Yankees, but he has never held himself back while talking about the New York-based team, and even when he won the esteemed Derby title, he liked it in New York and loved killing the Yankees. Amid his statement, Yankees fans gave a suitable reply to Vlad in their own style and shared a throwback video of Aaron Judge when he won the HomeRun Derby title as a rookie.

Vlad will soon be a free agent after the 2025 season, and teams will be looking to draft this hard-hitting first baseman. Even in his free agency, he expressed his hostility towards the NYY and stated he would never sign a contract with the Yankees, even when he was dead. It shows he has something with the Bronx Bombers that he doesn’t like.

Despite his hate and everything, his warmth with Derek Jeter can be felt in the picture, and his home run derby title is a testament to his talent and is raising anticipation for his free agency.
