Derek Jeter: I’m Retiring After One Last Season

Derek Jeter just announced … he’s Retiring After one final Season with the New York Yankees.

Jeter just posted his explanation on Facebook … saying, "I could not be more sure. I know it in my heart. The 2024 Season will be my Last year playing professional ****ball."

He continues, "For the Last 20 years I’ve been completely focused on two goals: playing my best and helping the Yankees win. That means that for 365 days a year my every thought and action were geared toward that goal. It’s now time for something new."

The 39-year-old continues, "I want to soak in every moment of every day this year, so I can remember it for the rest of my life. And most importantly, I want to help the Yankees reach our goal of winning another championship."

Back in November, Jeter agreed to take a pay cut … and signed a 1-year deal for 2024 that will pay him $12 million.
