Yankees’ Derek Jeter: I’ll never be a manager

There’s still a long way to go in the 2014 Major League Baseball season before we have to officially say goodbye to the legendary Derek Jeter, but that still doesn’t mean that we can’t begin to ask questions about his future in the game following his upcoming retirement. More specifically, will he stay in the game of baseball in some capacity?

That last question then leads to an inquiry into whether or not Jeter could lead a team of his own someday soon down the road. That question was asked recently by the Chicago White Sox media to Jeter, and he shot it down in the most undramatic way possible.

“I will not manage,” Jeter said via ESPN.com.

He didn’t just leave the answer at that, he did elaborate a bit further by saying that he believes he has the nerves for it, but he just ultimately doesn’t see it happening.

“My temperament would be all right to manage,” Jeter said. “But I’m not. No. Write that down.”

This is a very viable question to ask Jeter, especially given the influx of managers in the game right now that Jeter has either played with or against during his illustrious career, included the White Sox’s current manager Robin Ventura who was a member of the Yankees with Jeter from 2002-03.
