Part 2/9:
Jeter’s journey with the Marlins began in 2017 when he joined forces with Bruce Sherman to purchase the team from Jeffrey Loria. The acquisition reflected Jeter's desire not only to own an MLB team but also to reshape the Marlins after years of lackluster performance. Upon his hiring, Jeter had clear ambitions for the organization: to revitalize it while establishing his legacy away from the baseball diamond.
As he began his leadership, the early signs of his vision included promises of strategic change and a commitment to fostering a winning culture. The mantra of “patience” was a persistent theme in his public addresses, suggesting that fans should endure a transition period as the Marlins restructured their operations.
