Ever since the Yankees shook loose from Juan Soto, this offseason has been nothing short of wild. They’re spending big, making moves, and for once, it actually feels like they’re going all in. And you know what? It’s been awesome.
But here’s the thing—no matter how much action is happening in the Bronx, there’s one voice that always cuts through the noise. One guy who, when he speaks about the Yankees, we all stop and listen. That, of course, is the Captain himself, Derek Jeter.
Jeter recently sat down with SportsCasting.com to share his thoughts on the state of the Yankees—both in life with Soto and now, after moving on. And as always, he kept it cool, professional, and straight to the point:
“They did a good job... You always want to try to improve your team. I’m sure you ask anyone in the organization, they have improved as a whole. The great thing about playing for the Yankees is pretty much every season you have an opportunity to get to the postseason.
And they made it to the World Series last year... Obviously, they fell a little bit short. But now they’re retooling and getting ready for this season. It’s the strongest organizations that win. It’s not necessarily the strongest roster at the major league level because there’s injuries and people come, and people go. I think right now, the Yankees are in a good spot, just like a few other teams.”
That’s Jeter for you—never too high, never too low, always locked in on the bigger picture. But let’s be real: this is the same guy who has always said that making it to the World Series and losing? That’s a failed season. He’s being diplomatic here, but deep down, we know he’s not giving out any participation trophies.
And honestly? That’s why we love him. The Yankees could be building a powerhouse, or they could be setting themselves up for heartbreak—but either way, hearing from the Captain just makes everything feel right.
