‘the Past Is the Past’- Derek Jeter Reaffirms Having ‘No Issues’ With Former NY Yankees Teammate Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez Despite Contradictory Rumors

Derek Jeter and Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez have known each other for over two decades. But the two have not shared the same bond over the years. Having played for the same franchise for over a decade, A-Rod and Jeter have entertained an era in MLB.

Once, their friendship was the talk of the town. But it did not last forever. Notably, during his Texas Rangers days, A-Rod had made some comments regarding Jeter’s baseball career. He had said that being a Yankee, Jeter had little to do to win a baseball game. And Derek Jeter took offense at A-Rod’s comment.

This one incident ruined the friendship between the two of the greatest baseball players of the 21st century. But with time passing by, the two moved on from that episode. And now, neither of them has any rift with the other. Recently, during the release of his docuseries, the former Yankees captain weighed his opinion on the decades-old matter.

“I have no issues with Alex. None whatsoever. We’ve had conversations. The past is the past. It’s over and done with. You’ve got to remember, this was a long, long time ago. People evolve over time and they change. You have life experiences. I have zero issues with Alex,” said Jeter.
