Alex Rodriguez ruined his friendship with Derek Jeter ... and then they became teammates

Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter weren't just great young shortstops at the same time-- they were best friends. But that friendship got complicated when Rodriguez played better, Jeter won a lot more, and then A-Rod got the biggest contract in MLB history and used the occasion to kinda disparage his buddy's skills. Things were awkward for a few years ... and then they became teammates on the Yankees. This is a long, delicate beef that may still be unfolding.

As a NYer and a lifelong Yankees Fan let me save you some time here. A-Rod came to the Yankees as the far superior defensive shortstop, it’s not even close how much more range he had than Jeter, yet he played 3B ONLY because it was “Jeter’s Team.” If Jeter really wanted the best for the team he would have said let Alex play Short, and I’ll play 2nd or 3rd. We won’t even get into the offensive numbers, Jeter was awesome offensively but A-Rod’s numbers were already legendary. Jeter never embraced A-Rod as a Yankee. I don’t think he ever wanted A-Rod there and honestly I think it was all for selfish reasons.

@@travis6694 You can always tell who's a pretend baseball fan with comments like this. Jeter wasnt a God awful shortstop. Saying that is simply dumb and you don't know what you're talking about. He was average. He didn't have good range, but he was smart and could make up for it. Did he deserve those gold gloves? No. But to say he wss God awful? You're just being an idiot.

@@nickv4073 A competitive, leader mindset. He was the captain of the team, and you have the best player in the league at your position come to your team? Of course he was pissed, he was no longer the uncontested alpha dog.

Joe and Steve didn't beef. Just wasn't the truth of it, Steve had more of a beef with George Seifert than Joe.

[@blacklabelholsters1635]

My dad and I were at the first Mariners home game when the Rangers came to town, with their newly-signed A-Rod. When we walked into the ballpark, people were giving out Monopoly money and instructing us to throw it while yelling "A$$-Rod" every single time Rodriguez came on the field, either to bat, or to play defense. It was absolutely HILARIOUS and one of a handful of sporting events attended with my father that neither one of us shall ever forget!

I see a lot of similarities between Jeter and DiMaggio: both were well known to non-baseball fans, dated celebrities, and had contentious contract negotiations with the Yankees. DiMaggio also ended friendships with one bad comment and didn't accept apologies.

[@localfox1000]

DiMaggio was also a bitter, wife beater.

[@yik9990]

Hilarious 😂 Very normal and realistic guy feud. Alex looks so happy all the time 😁

[@kmena05]

It's like how the KD Curry relationship works Jeter was good to the franchise helped win multiple titles but A Rod was the better player despite that, Curry is the pinnacle of the Warriors franchise he's the face he won a title with the team built w him but then KD joined, KD is the better player all around but Curry is worth more to the franchise 🤔

[@timothygalvin3021]

Its a little different though because the Warriors have won two championships with KD. ARod famously struggled in almost every postseason (09 being the exception) and while he had multiple mvp years, the team underperformed with him from a "winning championships" perspective.

[@718ant5]

Exactly. Good point.

[@yuka7.999]

The better team player is always the BETTER player. Some lack the athletic ability compared to others but will make up for it there ways. Stats don't mean everything.

[@leftbenchplayaa]

Curry is better than KD tho. Before KD joined, curry outplayed him in almost every matchup. There’s a reason why he has 2 MVPs and has had more success than him.

[@lamarravery4094]

I remember when Jeter and A rod just started out and the media showing their friendship. I thought it was cool, 2 young talented players supporting each other and playing baseball. But the problem began when the media started to compare those two. It's the media's fault for instigating their feud. Derek tried hard to not make it worse, but A Rod couldn't be as classy as Jeter, and seemed to add fuel to the fire. Oh, well they're both great ball players and enjoying their retirement, good for them.

[@tfredrick01]

idk i really cant blame Arod for getting a little salty, Arod was far superior player while Jeter was a "good leader" and had a good media image which dont matter especially in baseball.

Arod in sports illustrated said when you go to yankee stadium you have to stop Bernie, Tino, and O’Neil which was %100 true. He didn’t mention Jeter and that’s when the friend ship went down hill. Arod spoke the truth. Jeter just like posada, Andy, and Mo were young kids surrounded by veterans and a dominate team. Jeter was never expected to carry the team.

[@has3219]

He had the highest war on the 1998,1999,2009 team as well as the ws mvp in 2000. In 2001 he had the highest war amongst his teams positions players. When they were in the world series he was usually their best player. Thats why he got all the praise. You don't need to be hitting home runs to be great.

[@seanhudson7328]

Jeter was great not because of numbers (even though he was one of the best hitters of all time), but because he was clutch in the postseason.

[@tombstone1111]

Just out of curiosity, how many MVP's did Derek "The Great" win in his career? I'm a lifelong Yankees fan and even I admit Jeter is the most overrated player in professional sports history and I can't even think of a close second.

[@has3219]

@@tombstone1111 How are you overrated with a 72.7 Career WAR???? He has the 12th highest Offensive output in terms of offensive WAR in mlb modern HISTORY with 96.3, which is colossal. Was he a great defender? No but even that is overstated in terms of how bad he was. He's not overrated at all maybe over exposed but when you play in the biggest market, win 5 world series in which you were the best position player you get a lot of praise.
