Yankees News: Derek Jeter, Don Mattingly Eyed by YES Network for Broadcast Booth

There is a chance that the New York Yankees and Don Mattingly could be added to the broadcasts of the YES Network.

"If there is a place for them in your universe, you find a way to make it work," said John Filippelli, YES president of programming and production. We haven't had any in-depth discussions with either of them. You have to have a conversation if they are available and interested.

According to Marchand, Jeter is an unlikely candidate at this point. Front Office Sports' Michael McCarthy reported in February that ESPN was looking to bring him in. The legendary baseball player and his former teammate, Alex Rodriguez, appeared on an episode of the KayRod Cast.

Mattingly told March and he had something else burning hot. The 61-year-old left his role as manager of the Miami Marlins earlier this fall and may still want to coach in MLB.

The five-time All-Star joined the Sunday Night Baseball team at Disney and limited how many games he could work for the YES Network.

Marchand wrote about the mixed results of the broadcasts.

They have the necessary qualifications to play as players. The Yankees' dynasty of the 1990s was defined by the former. He was an All-Star six times and the American League's Most Valuable Player once.

People who excel in a sport don't mean they can do well when talking about it for a living. Since he went out of his way to be uninteresting when he was in New York, he would be an odd fit.

The idea might not be a good one.
