Yankees legend says he’s not welcome anymore: ‘I don’t know what happened’
Yankees legend Jorge Posada says he no longer feels “welcome” around his old team.
Former Yankees star Jorge Posada has claimed he no longer feels welcome around his former team. The multi-time All-Star and World Series champion, who played for the Yankees for 17 seasons, stated on the "The Show" podcast that he believes the club does not want him around. "I don’t feel welcome when I go there. I don’t feel like they want me there so I don’t go," he said.
Posada was asked by Joel Sherman of the New York Post if he could help improve the Yankees' "unacceptable" behavior by being in the clubhouse more often. However, he added, "I don’t know what happened. I’d rather just move forward. My last season of my career was a really tough one when it comes to handling everything on my part and also the Yankees towards Jorge Posada so it’s tough to go back and feel that again."
Posada participated in the Yankees' 78th Old-Timers' Day on August 8, attending the alumni game and hitting a double. His comments come after several former Yankees, including Alex Rodriguez, CC Sabathia, and former manager Joe Girardi, criticized the team's culture and level of accountability following their sweep by the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALDS.
