Derek Jeters Mansion Is Under Fire- He Fires Back!
Yankees head honcho, Hank Steinbrenner was reportedly directing a statement toward Jeter in the past week, saying, “ Some of the players are too busy building mansions and other things and not concentrating on winning.”
He also went on to slam the team saying they seemed to be riding the wave of their 2009 World Series win.

Jeter is surely one of the stars busy building mansions – his massive $7.7 million mansion located on Davis Islands, Tampa was just completed in January. The mansion is 30,000-square-feet and has been dubbed “St.Jetersburg” since construction began in 2008.
Jeter responded to Steinbrenner on Tuesday in a locker-room interview, “We can have a difference of opinion but I didn’t sense that at all, I thought guys were ready to play. We just lost to a team that was better than us. That’s my point of view.”
He went on to, “My name wasn’t brought up,” Jeter said. “He didn’t say my name. I know there’s an assumption, but I look at the positive side of it. My name didn’t come out of his mouth.”
