The same media company might pay Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter the same amount of money.
Michael McCarthy reported Monday that the sports network would love to get into business with the captain.
The door to broadcasting opened after the announcement of the severing of ties with the Miami Marlins.

It is not clear what role Jeter would have within the company.
Karl Ravech will handle play-by-play duties along with David Cone and Eduardo Perez, while Alex Rodriguez and Michael Kay will work eight games on alternate feeds.
Maybe the Hall of Famer could team up with Rodriguez as Eli and Manning did, or maybe he could helm his own broadcast.
Despite his impressive resume as a player, the fit on television might be a bit questionable.
He played in a media market where his every utterance would be highly scrutinized and he wasn't particularly charismatic or insightful during his baseball career.
If he were to be paid to talk for a living, he would likely draw in a lot of viewers because of his name recognition.
The Captain is a documentary series that will air this year and is the only thing that is currently going on with the company.
