Have we seen the last of Derek Jeter? I mean, sure, we know he doesn’t want to go out like this. You know he’d prefer to go out with numbers like he had in 2012. Batting .320 with 15 home runs proving everyone wrong. You know he’d prefer to make a run at a title one last time.
But does he want to come back a shell of his former self? Limp through another season making multiple trips to the DL throughout the year? Mariano will be gone. Pettitte will be gone. Cano a question mark. Already made all the money in the world. Really whats the incentive for Jeter to give it another go? Play an injury plagued season alongside a bunch of nobodies just because he didn’t want to go out injured? Whats the point.
He probably wants a “Look at me, Look at me!” parade like Rivera.
