Early in their careers, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter had an iconic friendship that was well-known within Major League Baseball.
The tenor changed in 2000 when A-Rod suggested Jeter wouldn’t be the player to break his record $252 million contract. They denied a beef, but Rodriguez said in a 2001 interview that Jeter has never had to lead a team and received more favorable media attention.
